You give yourself the once-over. Amber tee-shirt: check. Chestnut brown cargo pants: check. White lab coat: check. John Lennon glasses: in your pocket (you only need them for reading). Unruly brown hair: check.
Everything seems to be there and in the right place. You take your rolling suitcase in tow and head out.
It's a 20-minute walk to the campus. You set out while the other kids are preening; company is not your thing. A couple of cars pass you along the way, but the only indication anyone even saw you is the finger waved in your general direction from an old pickup.
The college grounds are surrounded by a four-foot cinderblock wall capped with black field stone. A few trees grace its well-manicured lawn, but the place is dominated by a huge neoclassical pile. It has an imposing three-storey front with domes on the right and left wings. Rising behind it is the 15-storey round dorm tower. The overall effect makes the schoolboy in you snicker, especially when you see the granite sign on the lawn:
F U C C
There's a group of a half-dozen guys in navy blue sweats with the FUCC letters on the front hanging out near the main doors. They look like they've just come back from a run.
