Ticket to Ride l stepped into the car confidently. After working on an English paper for eight hours, I felt that l deserved a break. So l embarked on my weekly excursion to McDonald's. Dad knew that I was a good driver and trusted me with the keys. My friends talked about going through the ravines at 45 m.p.h.g they considered moving violations status symbols more prestigious than even the Polo shirt. But l didn't. While I was driving down the road at exactly the speed limit, a routine check in my rearview mirror reflected Winnetka tax dol- lars at work. As I saw the flashing lights pulse on and off, my own pulse quickened. Between IPDE and aiming high, l had missed a stop sign. Oh my God! Dad will disown me. l'll lose my license and never drive again. l know! I could hit the accelerator and escape. l've seen it done a hundred times on T.V. Or maybe l couldjoin the French Foreign Legion, they would never catch me! Wait! l have to get a grip on myself. Slowly, l pulled over to the side of the road and caught my breath. The husky young civil servant left his vehicle and approached mine. l slouched in my seat, the inevit- able had happened. Son, may l see your license? U STUDENT LIFE 13

After devouring two chocolate Pop-tarts, Bobby flew out the door and raced toward the shuttle bus. He searched for a window seat and sat down. Hey, Bobby, did you finish your Odyssey assignment? cried one of his friends. Yeah, l was up until 11:00 last night reading. The shuttle bus pulled up in front of the Northfield campusg Bobby Smith readied himself for another arduous day at New Trier, Northfield Style. When advisory bell sounded, Bobby Smith shuffled off to biology class. With pig carcasses stretched before him, Bobby prepared himself for a delicate operation. Bobby, l thinkl am going to be sick, mumbled his lab partner. 'lOh no! Not again! After cleaning himself in the bathroom, Bobby went to the LA. building for a pop-quiz on The Odyssey. Whew, l'm glad that's over. Let's go down to the Commons, he whispered to one of his classmates after turning in his paper. His day continued as usual. At 3:30, Bobby went to his Frosh!Soph play rehearsal. Missing the last shutde bus, Bobby called his mother for a ride. As he crawled into the car, he collapsed from exhaustion.
