One of the students I tutor is waiting to hear back from Northwestern. She told me today that, if accepted, she wants to live in the dorm where I lasted for one quarter and two weeks freshman year before bolting to a single. Oh, the Communications Residential College, how I didn’t care much either way about thee. Six years later I have only vague ideas about why the place was offensive to my sensibilities then. The only thing of note that I did in my time there was to be responsible for a minor “listserv war” (god, I really miss how important everything seemed in college), which, thanks to Google, it seems that I also remembered correctly that the incident was included on a wiki for the dorm. To quote from the entry for my name:
In Winter 2006, she dropped Intro to Microeconomics. In Fall 2005, she dropped Math. ===== Breaking News ===== In Spring 2006, she dropped “Intro to Public Speaking.” However, according to CAESAR, no such course exists. Is Ms. Kattan referring to the course titled “Public Speaking” or another course, “Intro to Public Nudity,” offered in the department of Communication Studies? The world will never know.
Well, actually, hmm, let’s get our facts straight here: I didn’t drop public speaking. I dropped a Russian lit class that quarter. Yup.
