my 3 things i learned in college:
1) how to “french” coffee
2) inside art history, from modeling for a couple of famous artists
3) that, as a pre-med, i didn’t want to go anywhere near the practice or the practitioners of medicine
Erica: insightful and entertaining, as always. Your interesting commentary, made clear by your excellent diction.
