A few things bothered him about college when he first arrived. First, the professors were freaky smart and knew a lot about things that didn’t have to do with anything about what they were teaching – shit like World War II and the history of America. His Spanish prof knew more about stuff than he did when it came to just about anything. Second, most of his classes were a joke – it was like he was paying to learn things in a much more professional environment but he had already learned them. Ass-wiping at Harvard. Third, there were women everywhere and they were not being yelled at my their fathers when they found out what they were not wearing. Fourth, there were at least a million people just like him wondering around looking at everything but the sidewalk, but the older ones still looked down more than up and they didn’t talk much.
