In black and white it read, “Enroll in College Algebra or Pre-Calculus.” I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! Was this correct? How could this be accurate when six months previously, I had tested below average? My head spun with emotions as I took my results and walked to the Butler advising office. I sat there with a blank stare on my face as the short haired lady, sitting behind the desk,…

Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” exhibits much less of a confident role in the story as the pages turn. Connie’s character is an example of a person who flaunts false confidence in any reasonably comfortable situation, only to drop it all in the face of danger.

Moving out from her parents’ house on her own in the city she developed new habits that heightened her awkwardness and uniqueness such as, dipping her hands in one of the bags of grain every time she went to the market and looking back to people’s faces in the dark when she went to the movies.

Aside from the incompetent and avid acquaintances, many factors made this inscrutable place a little less scary. I can’t speak for others, but I loved this year, and truly wonder how I will be able to leave such…
