Chapter 32
Track 23. Wildest Dreams (2:09)
Jennie
ON A SATURDAY NIGHT, I sat across from Lisa, Joy, and Bambam in our rooftop pool as they laughed about all the crazy things they'd done over their college careers. Halfway listening, I felt my heart ache at the realization that I didn't have much to add to the conversation. That my first semester on campus was one of their last, and I wanted it to last forever.
I don't want to get back on that goddamn ship…
As Bambam and Lisa swam to the deep end with Joy following, I grabbed my phone from the deck and sent my advisor an email.
SUBJECT: MY OPTIONS.
Mr. Hinton,
I would like to let you know that although I am highly upset with how my credits (and the information about them) are handled, I have decided to choose the first option to complete the necessary credits for my degree.
Since I have a 4.0 GPA and two acceptance letters from graduate programs that were due to start next fall, I would also like to request a written explanation from your office so that they may consider holding my spot when I finish my undergraduate studies.
Thank you,
Jennie
