University life
Life on campus were the days when one would wish they were at home in the care of mum and dad. Especially when one got sick. I remember my final year at university; I developed a sore throat and went to the university clinic. The nurse there was totally convinced without a benefit of a doubt that I had contracted a terrible flu. I was hoping she was going to give me a prescription but instead she advised; “eat three square meals a day, get plenty of rest and don’t drink alcohol.”
When I told my roommate, she was amazed and perplexed. She asked in astonishment, “which world is she living in, doesn’t she realize you’re at university?”
