My drawstring Nike Wake Forest bag clings to my back as it strains under the weight of my multivariable calculus and economics textbooks. I lumber down the hall in a sluggish manner hoping I never reach the class of a teacher named Mr. Moran.

Tensions were high. A single bead of sweat trickled down my left temple. My palms were sweaty and my legs were vigorously bopping up and down.

Walking into the waiting room in Seller’s Hall, believe me when I say that I was shocked to see the nine fashionably dressed and fluent English speaking Indian students, relaxing on the comfy admission office sofas.
