Lori
After the initial worry of whether we could find enough work for them, most summer students endeared themselves to us and we missed them when they were done. Lori was a belly-dancer. She attended squat-ins and never learned to drive. She was a sociology major who worked the word hegemonic into daily conversations.

I wonder if she knew Minet from Istanbul?

DeleteOh, memories... I do really miss some of those students. They were indeed an endearing (mostly) and eclectic bunch.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I think I'll have a couple more to fill in this month.
DeleteI'm trying to decide if I would miss her.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you would. She was a lot of fun.
DeleteThere is no way I could work hegemonic into even one conversation. Lori sounds wonderful.
