set at swarthmore
worst thing
rude non-swatties in the audience at the dance concert (laughing at
serious things, trying to yell at each other and disguise it as
coughing...)
drama (i still don't believe in it. but lots of people make up for me, i
guess.)
unhealthiness (i'll be healthy starting tomorrow! really, this time!)
