C'est la Vie by Jennifer Babcock for December 11, 2019

Too late, and Mona is already holding it.

Not married yet?

A California college professor who isn’t dating a student? Something fishy going on here!

Math professor here…let me set all of you straight….coeds never date their STEM professors. They only date their psych, sociology, art, English, etc. professors…Empirical data gathered from 43 years at a university…..

You need to look woke too. Try “Heart of Darkness”, and brood on how privileged you are at the expense of those oppressed colonial peoples.

That, and Donna needs to wear something “uplifting” if you know what I mean :)

The book “Little Women” might be appropriate here.

So many lines to Mona’s book…..

Is he an English professor or a British professor? I’m not sure Donna knows the difference.

Give up on trying to impress him with your erudition, that’s not what he’s looking for.

Try a Hemmingway novel. Anyone who must read one will surely be depressed.

I thought Donna was older than thirteen. Maybe only physically….

I see what you did with Mona’s book title……….

Perhaps something by Richard Brautigan?
