Oh my gosh! There s only one year left after this one. I still don ' t know what the hell I ' m doing! I still can ' t get mv Zar 110 7 n ' T ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' on Tuesday and Thursday from :10-2:25? Does anyone know of a good Monday Wednesday class? Yes, Barnard has an economics department . . . listen Pal, you can t criticize Barnard classes if you ' ve never taken one. Did you ever notice that most of the guts are Columbia classes? I know we don ' t have a real library ... but my professors know me. The same people are in all the different clubs . . . why is everyone so apathetic? What do care? I can ' t even get to my 1:10 class without two cups of coffee. I m probably going to die from all this TAB. My R.A. has to sign this form? I don ' t even know who she IS. Jesus! I gotta get outta here for break! I have no money though. Mom, Dad? . . . O.K., I ' ll sit on the steps but on- ly If we sit higher up so that I can try to do my work. I don ' t feel like saying hello to everyone. I ' m so behind, I can ' t believe it s finals! I m late . Christ! . . . when are they going to fix these stupid elevators?! . . . What ever made me think I was going to Med school anyway? What am I going to do? . . . All my friends are graduating Graduation . thank God I m getting out of this place! ... But what the hell am I going to do for the rest of my life Why didn t I take the damn LSAT ' s last year? Maybe, try Career Services . . . very funny! Doesn ' t it seem that this campus has gotten more conservative? I ' m hardly ever in my room in Furnald ... I hardly know anyone from mv nZ. • ■ • advisor s teaching a Freshman seminar. Well, I finally got to see the C.U. band in College library the night before Orgo had to take an incomplete in my senior thesis, though. I don ' t know ... do I have any marketable skills? I spend early morning hours at the computer terminal. Who said senior year would be easy Ive got dasses on FndaysrWhy are the freshmen done with finals before I am? Why are some people here in Morn - Sritfo? I ; ' ' h ' ' ' ' T ' ' ' ' applications over winter break. I ' m finally cleared for thfnk Am I ready? ° ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' • It happens the same way every Monday morning at about 11:45 a.m. I hear a loud click and realize it ' s my pen fall- ing on the floor. I m embarrassed until I see that I ' m not the only one. The professor doesn ' t seem to have noticed He would notice in a Barnard class because they ' re so much smaller. I ' m now able to discriminate between my good and bad classes ,ust as I can trust myself to take decent notes without writing down every word. Somewhere along the don tir ' ' ' ' friction to coffee, I ' ve learned how to think. Grrr, my stomach comments, and I realize that f still don t know how to eat right. Maybe, after I graduate -J.G. 16
