How I met Margaret
My freshman year of college I was enrolled in Intro to Creative Writing, taught by Dr. Thomas Heffernan.
The first class meeting there was this really sassy redhead standing outside class talking about smoking and how it was really unfair she couldn’t use the gym whenever she felt like it.
We all filed into the classroom when it was time and she got up in front of the class and said something to the effect of, “Welcome to Intro to Creative Writing. I’m Dr. Thomas Heffernan.”
The class was mostly freshmen, and we all bought it. Why would we not?
To quote her: “Wow, frosh lag.”
[For the record, this is the real Dr. Heffernan.]
