Since being at home

Went to the eye doctor - I’m slightly more blind, again. Went to the dentist - thank God I never needed braces. Got a haircut, during which the lady cutting my hair brought me completely up to speed on her boyfriend, 10 years her senior who drinks too much (mostly beer), as well as all the details on her recent gall bladder removal (5 cuts, not 3). Spent inordinate amounts of time flipping mindlessly through vogue and elle and instyle (UK edition, where the models are wearing less and everything is in pounds) at Borders where I’ve inevitably run into hoards of high school kids studying for their AP exams. They come up and ask me how college is. But how do you really answer that question? I mean, obviously I say stuff like “Oh, college is awesome I’ve had a great semester…and so on and so forth.” What I really want to say is something to the extent of…“college turned everything I thought I believed upside down.” But before I can, they invariably return to their high stacks of AP books, and I go back to my magazines, or the occasional MCAT/GMAT/LSAT/case interview prep book. Ah, I wish someone would have told me to take easy classes freshman year.
