"When I Was Your Age..."

Well at my first college overnight (I was 16 at the time and had traveled their on my own from DC as my parents were in Africa) at Harvard all I remember was drinking daiquiris and setting hairspray cans on fire. I must have visited a class or done something more productive, but I don’t remember it!

In college itself, drank a lot, smoked some pot (only bought it once), played a lot of bridge, my boyfriend moved into my room, graduated with honors. Spent two summers in Europe, one of them paid by a grant from college to do research for my senior thesis.

The year after college I lived in a camping van and traveled around the country photographing fire stations.
