Lines to see an advisor extend beyond the walls of the counseling department. Because the health service requires proof of insurance, students wait in long lines to argue for exemptions. The financial aid office assigns appointment times, but invariably lines form there, too. At the bookstore, students wait twenty minutes at a register, and I need to have my out-of-state check verified in a separate line. Even before classes begin, I’m exhausted.

A great amount of corn is used as feed for cattle, poultry, and hogs. Corn is also distilled into ethanol—a fuel for cars and a component in bourbon. Corn is made into a sweetener used in snacks and soft drinks and a thickener for foods and industrial products. A small amount of corn is consumed at dining tables in kernel or processed form.

During Kirstie’s senior year in high school, she was dating a college guy, was enrolled in college prep classes, jogged religiously every morning and every evening, and loves to ski with her family and beat her brothers down the slope. She seemed to crave the compliments she received from her brothers and their friends because of her good looks, and she received plenty! But years later, she revealed to me that her greatest pride at that time was when she discovered she could vomit automatically after eating, without needing to use a finger or spoon.
