I remember how I went about entertaining myself at orientation. I sat in the front row, but became uncomfortable in the bleacher seats without a backrest, so I slit down to sit on the floor. As I looked out on the panel of professors that were sent to speak before us, my view was interrupted by a banister in front of me. I kept moving my gaze so that the bar would obscure the professor’s heads. I laughed internally for some time, imagining headless professors speaking to us, and taking sips of water.

It was a very long day that day :)
