My last day @ CUCEI was also the last time I saw LACS alive.
There was a meeting scheduled the day before vacations and I decided to go, to share a last time with my professors who became my friends and then my co-workers/peers.
Once the meeting was over, we went to receive our payslip, I got mine pretty early but stayed talking with my “mother from CUCEI” on sideline.
Another friend came and we were all talking and then LACS turned up, so I went to say Hi as always, so we started talking until he was about to receive his payslip or after that, I don’t remember exactly.
The things we discussed:
- Me learning python, how I considered to be a weird language, slow and highly disappointed of its PVM. He told me that Python was a great language for learning and teaching, that he liked it and I should give it some slack…so I decided to do it; I don’t think I would have respected the language I’m using right now if other person have told me something like this.
- My goodbye from CUCEI, I told him I was quitting my last class @CUCEI(Compilers) because of the distance from home and that I will continue teaching on grad school@ CUCEA. He told me to not be an stranger, that we will keep in touch by whatsapp/email but that I should and visit from time to time, he gave me a big hug and told me that he hoped to collaborate with me again in the future.
Obviously @ the moment none of us thought that will be the last time we will see each other but it was, and it was the closest to a real goodbye with closure I will ever have from him.
I miss you big brother.
