Bright Young Things

Campus of Clarkwell College, graduation in the town of Clarksville, somewhere upstate, 1990

Hey there. Whew, what a day. First I did the Ellipticycle for an hour and then I had to run to the Dean's small cocktail party for Honors students and then I had to hurry up and turn in that Green Form so I could graduate.

You know, the Green Form.

The Green Form? You didn't turn it IN?! No, it's that green form that we got at orientation when we first came here four years ago. Yeah, sorry, but it kind of is important. It's the Green Form. They told us never to lose it, remember? No not the blue registration card, the GREEN Form! Maybe you just have it in your wallet and you didn't even know or something. Check it.

Wow, your wallet. You actually keep everything all crammed in together like that? No, it's just kind of amazing. I would freak out if I couldn't streamline my wallet. Oh—I think you dropped this twenty. Oh, no wait, it's actually mine. Sorry.

Well anyway, you need the Green Form to graduate, otherwise . . . No, I mean I'm sure they have an alternative. You probably just have to wait an annoying day or one term or year or something. Wow, I can't believe you forgot.

You are so funny, you. Man, am I going to miss college and all your crazy flakiness. Ha ha! You've always been the funny one in our gang.
