i just assumed you guys were on the quarter system or something.

nah.
no. classes actually started a month ago.

but you stayed here.

yup.
uh huh.

it's your own business, but do you mind if i ask why?

i had visa problems. i was actually supposed to go back to guyana to get it renewed, but i didn't know it. because the letter that said so got sent to my old address. by the time my old roommate got around to telling me there was a pile of mail there, the deadline had already actually passed. so if i leave the states now, i won't be able to come back. and the school won't let me in til i actually get it renewed.

yeah, my f-- uh, my stupid roommate screwed me over, too. he hoovered the last three months' rent up his nose, so i had to cover it so the landlord wouldn't kick our sorry-- um, kick us out. then the school decided i wasn't eligible for the minority scholarship i had, so then all of a sudden i didn't have the tuition.

wow. wait, you were getting a minority scholarship?

yeah, same as this DARP sh-- er, thing, i guess. the name 'kwesi washington' pops up on their lists and they ask me to apply for stuff, so i do. it's not like i'm lying, i just return their forms. it's not, like, my fault if they never get around to checking what i look like.

i always kind of wondered about your name.

yeah, my parents were all into civil rights when they were young.

so, how did the school find out?

someone saw my picture in the paper from this Mayflower Society thing i went to.
