March Matron

No amount of hand stitching is going to prevent jabs in the armpit, and I confess I have had my share of bathroom bra removal. 

To prevent cheating, China flies surveillance drone over test takers.

One of the most ridiculously uncomfortable exams I took was the medical aptitude test (MCAT). Incredibly long and absolutely brutal, I took it a few months after my oldest kid was born. 

M-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-m!!

The nursing moms will get what I’m saying. 

Bra Theory - an empathetic and mathematical approach to bras.  Underwear meets physic.

It was closing in on lunch time and I was hoping, along with trying to divine the correct responses to physics questions, that I could make it to the breast pump sitting in my car. If not, there was going to be some serious wardrobe malfunction requiring different apparel.

Fortunately, a change in shirt wasn’t necessary and by the end of the second half of the exam, I was in no mood to care what leaked where and how it appeared. Following tradition, students appear in underwear on Olin Library’s Info Commons  at Wesleyan University, a private liberal arts college in Middletown, Connecticut.  One additional tale of underwear and academics from my mom.

How to identify finals week.

When I was a freshman at the University of Utah, my mom was in her final year of law school. Each law student had a little carrel assigned to them in the law library and if I had time between classes I would walk over and study.

Mid-year, some students had strung a variety of clothes, including various undergarments, clothesline style from one end of the library ceiling to the other. The law library has fairly high ceilings with no ready access so they had to be pretty dedicated to the prank.

Good to see things come full circle.
