At Spelman, I wouldn’t have to be “the black girl,” which sounded like a nice change, but at the same time, I would have had to be “All Black, All the Time,” which wasn’t really that appealing either.

I just read in the paper that Kay Myerson is going to be in my class. Kay Myerson! Man, am I excited! (I should probably stop saying things like “man” before I start at Wellesley, shouldn’t I? Adjusting to a women’s college is going to be challenging.)
