September 17, 2007

As soon as I woke up, coming out of my room, I saw many of my co-tenants wandering around the halls with their faces green with “vitalizing” masks and their hair wrapped in towels.

Choices Made

September 14, 2007

original After more than a month, exhaustion – both mental and physical – is beginning to hit. I didn’t leave myself time to realize where I am, what’s happened to me.

Slow Dancing

September 14, 2007

original This school dance is serious stuff, there’s even a rehearsal. MomComm: But what about electing Miss Woodstock? Do they not do that anymore? My own class of ’81 failed to do so, actually.

Indian Schoolkids

September 10, 2007

original Yesterday I tried running again. The Indian children in this area find us extremely interesting, us big white girls. If there’s a camera, it’s the end of the world.

Dorm Colors

September 7, 2007

original Lean on me. Certain habits, like red and pink, one never loses. MomComm: A few years ago, Midlands, the girls’ dormitory, was rebuilt from the ground up, though in the same "footprint" it had always occupied, including the bizarre "bell tower" which has never contained a bell. Two floors were made into three, and [...]

The Bullying Expert

September 6, 2007

original From what is now my class, about 5 kids were expelled last year, for a series of misunderstandings which caused them to beat bloody two younger kids the last night of the last school year.
