Spring 1974, what a miserable winter it was. I wintered over staying in the dorms of New York Medical College at the base of the Catskills. For the last two months all I've heard is Nixon this, Nixon that. What's on the tapes? Who said what? Who knew what when? Who cares? I'm sick of it, absolutely sick of it all. Erlichman, Hunt, G. Gordon Liddy, they're all crooks. Who is "Deep Throat " ? How is he connectected to it all? So completely sick of it all I can't take it anymore. Why do I care? None it matters it's all a rouse one giant cover up Thank God spring is here and students will be arriving any day.
Well lookie here. I guess the early birds will get the worm. Spoiled little rich kids, can't wait to get outside and smoke their pot and wonder why their grades are faltering. I guess I better get up and get my house in order it won't be long and the halls will be full of laughing and giggling, nobodies minds on anatomy, physiology, or pathology. God help us if these hippies are going to be the future of medicine, god help us indeed.
I sure hope there is at least one bright one in the group this year but judging from the image out the window, well, at least three of can read. The other three probably think they are so smart they don't need to read. We'll see about that come March mid-terms.
Don't get me wrong I love teaching. I do. It just seems like the last few years all that comes through here is snob nosed, self important little pricks or perky breasted prick teasing know it all girls with serious daddy issues always trying to use their sexuality to get the grade. Ha, I wonder what they'd think if they knew I was of the opposite persuasion and their cute smiles and batty eyelashes did nothing for me but irritate me to near insulance.
Of course there was Gayle. That one girl down there sitting up pretty kind of reminds me of her if she were a bit taller. My, my that girl did know how to make a man feel like a man and at 5'11" tall she had the wearwithall to go with it and did she every have a grip on anatomy andhuman understanding. I do hope that she is doing well.
Let's see here, what's on the to-do list for this semester. I need to get fresh cadavers for the lab, cleaning supplies, and order linens from the laundry. I wonder if Mary is back yet from the holidays it'd be nice to get a hot cooked meal from the cafeteria. Mmm mmm, I do love her meatloaf.
Oh great another news briefing on the telly. Good god, more talk about Vietnam and Nixon, Nixon, Nixon, yeah yeah the people have got to know their president is not a crook. You're all crooks every damned one of you are crooks. That's it I can't take it no more I'm going to head off to the cafeteria and see about some meatloaf and say hi to the early birds along the way. Perhaps I might even get a chance to see what kind of headache I'm in for in trying to educate these pot smoking, free loving hippies that are our bright and shining future.
