Transferred
I was beginning to lose faith in the student population at James Madison
University..
– Demographic shifts have made the university eerily similar to Sweet Briar
Academy
– I saw three people with Von Dutch Hats in one day
– More than 14% of Students own a Mercedes or BMW
– Popular Topics on the Bus Ride this AM ranged from “Why isn’t there an
Abercrombie closer to Campus”” all the way to “Wal-Mart has great deals on
Turkey Sticks.”
….just when I had lost all hope . . .
One man, neh, two men drove by in a 1994 Ford Escort. Dented paint gleaming
in the bright sunlight, tires worn all the way through the tread, and the
rearview mirror attached through clever use of duct tape and string. A familiar
tune was emanating from the Tape Deck…
— Elton John – Rocket Man —-

My heart leapt with the familiar astronomical beats, and my faith was
restored in humanity.
