I need to explain this picture. Scout was in the midst of exam week. She called her mothers at midnight. She needed help. I bet you can see that in her pathetic little face.
She was working on a paper. It was no doubt overdue. It was for a class she is taking this semester. Love and Eroticism in Western Culture. IN108 at Emerson College Really. That’s the class she is taking. Aren’t you jealous?
She called for help on a paper for this class. At first I was kind of flattered and then she told me what the paper was about. For the life of me, I can’t remember the whole topic but I know for sure that it involved sex, paranoia and masculinity.
I think we were just the right people to call.
Don’t we look helpful? Actually Eileen looks helpful. I look like I recently had a tragic haircut. In fact, I’m really not sure why I chose to post this picture given how bad I look.
Oh yeah, I remember now. I chose to post this because this particular picture because if offers insight into Scout.
Here she was, feeling low, pathetic, stressed. She had broken out in some rash that sent her to the Emerson health center. But never too pathetic to photograph herself looking pathetic and then taking a snapshot of her desktop and emailing it to me while we were still on our video chat.
I really don’t know how she does it. It’s impressive. As I’m sure the paper about sex, paranoia and masculinity was.
