One of the biggest fears any of us, probably, has upon going to a new place is whether we will be accepted. And Rory’s… er… “discussion” with Headmaster Charleston must have made her feel like a complete outcast.

I remember a job interview I once had, when I was still a teenager in college. The interviewer showed me around the facility. I got to talk with a number of the engineers there. It was an open, easy-going environment. They knew how to have fun and relax while they were getting stuff done.

After the tour, however, I guess the interviewer felt he needed to get serious. His face became stern. He told me that they had fun, yes, but when it was time to work, they worked.

I did not take the job.

I think if I had been in Rory’s place, I would have reconsidered whether getting into Harvard was really that important to me.

P.S. Who’s that English teacher, BTW? Is he the guy who Max Medina replaces in a couple episodes?

P.P.S. I love Emily’s line: “Drug dealers take the bus”? No, drug dealers have their own cars.

P.P.P.S. Hey, it’s Kirk! I mean, “Mick.”
