July 02, 2003Former students, paisley ties, and cheap chairs...
I ran into a former student this evening when I was down at RCC for my “Wit” rehearsal. She struggled in my class, but she put in the effort and walked away with a decent grade. To hear her tell it, community college isn’t lobbing anything her way that she can’t handle. Good for her, say I.
I had an experience this afternoon that hammered home the fact that I won’t be returning to Notre Dame in the fall—and in a way that perhaps nothing else could have. I was at a thrift store, checking out furniture prices, and I came across a delightfully hideous tie. It had a black background, upon which had been hurled bright paisley patters of all various sizes, with no deference paid to either fashion or propriety. It was, in a word, lovely. However, it was $4 (which is about $3.50 more than I like to pay for a tie, as those who know me can attest). Seeing as how I don’t have a pressing need for such a thing anymore, I really couldn’t justify the “expense”.
Speaking of expense, though, I managed to make off with four chairs for eight dollars. More on my second-hand shopping prowess later…
