In the six months you've been bunking at
yor parents' place, you've watched The
Wire" in its entirety but in no way gotten
closer to finding a real job. While "borrow-
ing" $10 fromY ourmom's purse to go to the
bar you find a new pocket Rocket vibrator.
Mom catches you snooping and says, 'Relax.
It's for your father." You decide you need to
move out. It's time to suck it up and ----

You've learned a lot working at Jimmy John's.
First, expiration dates on mayonnaise are sub-
jective. Second, late-night delivery provides the
opportunity to make a lot more than just mini-
mum wage plus tips. At the end of a shift, your
coworker "six days clean" Seth tells you that if a
customer on your delivery route ever asks you to
come inside, you should do it. Seth points to his
new Audi - "Delivery guy sex fantasies, it's a
real thing." From that day on, you ___-

Congratulations! It's graduation day and all your friends
and family are here to celebrate. Grandma wants to know
what you're doing now that you're done with school. You
cringe, shrug your shoulders and say, "It's not quite what I
wanted, with the economy and all, but I've decided to
2A: Work for Teach for America
2B: Live at home while figuring things out

Your first choice for your Teach for America
location was New York City, but you were
placed in Kansas City. You're comforted that
Kansan middle schoolers are probably easier
to handle then city kids. Your first day, though,
your students light a small fire in the corner of
the classroom and then lock you in a supply
closet where you're trapped overnight. Letting
tears fall onto your makeshift bed of puke-
absorbing sawdust, you decide to._____

The next day in class, you bring in candy
to give to students who answer questions
right. Your students call your policy unfair
and prejudiced. They revolt, tipping over
desks and chanting. Panicked, you grab
the first kid you can get your hands on. It's
Sherry Ann, the most developed girl in the
school. She tells her parents about it and
a week later, you are served with a sexual
harassment suit. In turn, you- .
