We took my sleeping bag, my bag of clothes, and my backpack out of the trunk. My father and my sister, Stephanie, were there to goodbye and as I was heading on the bus…

project were that I wanted to zone in on the specific actions of service workers and a William and Mary student towards each other on the bus.

We began in the evening, my friend also gladly accepted to not…
