I was happy to see that our class had three men-the program most of us were in only had one man, Gary, and he sat directly behind me. I had met most of the other people in class at orientation or our advertising class as well, but could not remember their names.

As people walked in, I realized I knew no one’s name except for Amanda, a girl I met at orientation who took a seat in the row behind me, Jordan (we endearingly call her “Jojo”) whom I paired up with in our Monday advertising class for an interviewing exercise, Alyssa, who sat behind me in the aforementioned Monday class, and the other Alyssa whose sharp-as-a-knife eyeliner I complimented at orientation.
