Thursday, May 08, 2003 Creative Stuff Another vignette from the story that I've been posting pieces from: One morning during Mei’s second year at Indiana University she was sitting at her desk inspecting the scribbled scraps of paper piled just underneath the corner of her computer monitor—her method for keeping track of notes to herself—when she came across a napkin reminder. She needed to ask Marc if he’d give her a ride to her parents’ house for dinner; it’d only be a twenty-five-minute drive and he was welcome to stay for some real food. Unimpressed by the failed enticements of another meal in the cafeteria, he gladly agreed. The combination Chinese/Japanese dinner was as wonderful as expected, but what Mei would remember for years was her mother’s comment as she was stepping out the door. Marc was already in the car and she was giving her father a hug when her mother frowned and said, “You said he’s same age as you but graduating in a term?” Mei nodded. “Then, my girl, you should be ashamed of yourself. You’re two years behind.” ^ Top | 9:12 PM | | |
