Falling in Love With Computer Science And Prosecco

More then seventeen years ago, Gabriela and me were two of the few women who studied computer science.
While most of our male colleagues were very fond of their PCs, neither of us two had dealt with computers before.
But we both were specialists, too! We successfully knitted fantasic jumpers during lectures and during the holidays we recovered from "Tekky-Stuff" by designing and sewing our own fashion collections.

Once in a while, we both needed some time-out from lectures and then we often convinced our colleague Eugene Trustworthy to join us in the cafeteria for some Prosecco.
Although Eugene wasn't much of a talker and knew a lot of computers, he obviously enjoyed those "Prosecco-Time-Outs" with Gabriela and me just as much as we did.

The day we had written our final exams I suddenly realised, that Gabriela and Eugene had gradually fallen in love with each other - but they still were not completely aware of it! Time to party! I invited them for dinner, me being the cook. Time passed quickly that evening and suddenly it was that late, that they both happily accepted my suggestion to stay overnight... The result? They are married for many years already and have two children together!
