Introduction: The Adventure Continues to Begin

     I received an invitation to the St. Peter’s College Summer Term Private Facebook Group today. It was with no little trepidation that I scrolled through the Members page.

     It is worse than I feared. There are women with last names as first names. There are men who graduated from matching prep school/college combos. Mine is the only selfie with a shower curtain hanging behind the head – the rest are snapshots taken in front of bricks, columns or books, except for the one which I’m almost positive is a newspaper debutante photograph. These people are the editors of their Ivy League college newspapers, Peace Corps volunteers, and Big Ten quarterbacks.

     The main item of interest on my CV is that if I stand close enough to the bathroom counter my stomach slides into the sink.

     But a week from today, I am flying to England. My name is Siva, and I’m going to Oxford. Also, I just noticed that in an attempt to confuse those pesky Facebook ads I have listed my workplace as "The International Space Station." I wonder what Chervil Buff-Orpington III thinks about that as he peruses the St. Peter's Page?
     This is going to be interesting.
