Daria: Is It College Yet? Page #4

---

But Dad, you don't know what it's like. You went to a black high school and then

to Turner.

Because I HAD to. If I had a Crestmore degree in my pocket... Jodie, their

graduates are literally running this country. Think of how that degree can help

you catapult ahead. Where is that Landon spirit?

What's shaking, bacon?

I don't smell anything. Hey, cool sculpture. It's like a comment on the

underbelly of pain... or something.

Actually, it's a comment on BFAC's incredibly high admission standards.

Um, why do you want to go to art college? You're already an artist.

I know. But I want to be a starving artist, so I need to ring up more debt.

Well, I'd never go to music school. I wouldn't want any teachers trying to

corrupt my vision.

Can you imagine what Spiral would sound like if we were, like,

forced to practice, even when we don't want to?

Umm... oh, lookie, missed a spot.

There it is, Tom: the place where your father and I met. I was a sophomore,

Angier was a senior. It was a free concert by the Carpenters.

Um, I hope you weren't injured in the ensuing riot.

Well, I guess Daria and I better go in for our meetings.

Good luck!

Thanks.

Hi. We have appointments to see Lisa Goldwin.

So that's why the skating rink has that sign saying "clothes required."

Well, according to my grandfather, anyway. Then again, his motto is, "never let

the truth get in the way of a good story."

Tom, it was really nice meeting you.

You too, Lisa. Daria, I guess it's your turn. See you later.

Come on in, Daria. Are you as full of Bromwell lore as Tom?

Um, I doubt it. He seems to be really full of it.

Daria, now that you've had a chance to drink in the campus, so to speak, what

are your impressions.

Talk about the atmosphere? No, that's frivolous. The resources? No, she'll think

I mean money. The campus? No, shallow. Oh no, inappropriately long pause. Talk,

say anything.

Ummm, I like the campus, the dorms, and, um, libraries... the learning... feeling?

The learning feeling? Could I be any less articulate?

Yes, we like those things, too. Tell me, Daria, aside from gaining a first-rate

education from one of the finest faculties around, why did you want to attend

Bromwell?

Should I talk about wanting to be a writer and hoping Bromwell will help me find

my voice? Oh, God, how pretentious can I get?

Um, well, I guess I'm hoping that if I come here, I may be exposed to, um,

points of view I never considered.

Right, education. But what are you hoping to reap from your Bromwell experience?

Reap? Reap... reap reap!

Um, I hope to reap...

God, what does she want?

Ummm, a chance to grow...?

I did not say that!

You're asking me?

Um, well, I think at Bromwell, I can, umm...
