Class

I can't believe I once went to an elementary school that is now charging $13,500 per year tuition.

I missed the Audre Lorde film, so sick I was. I called the Nurseline and the RN told me to call 9-1-1 because I could be having a heart attack! I ate some rice when I got home and I feel fine now.

I'm sorry that you missed the movie. Could you tell me what it is called?

All health lines have to tell you to go to the hospital if you describe chest pain and trouble breathing as symptoms. Otherwise they can get sued. I have to do it at my counseling job. It is bullshit.

I felt that when the nurse was telling me to call 9-1-1 that she was laughing at me. I was like, "Woman, are you crazy? I told you I have GAS." All I wanted was some suggestions for remedies since I'd already tried ginger, antacids and carbonated water.

The Audre Lord film is called "A Litany for Survival: The Life and Work of Audre Lord" by Ada Griffith and Michelle Parkerson (1994)

I think the best bet is to get it from a university library. I've only seen VHS copies.

That's more than my college charged for tuition per year! I paid $10,500 a year for my education post-public school.

No kidding! That's way too much money. I only went there for a few months, then I went to the Libyan Embassy School. I can't believe my parents sent me to ARS. They didn't have lots of money. I think at the time I went (20 years ago), the tuition was about 7K - give or take a few thousand. I hope the teaching and curriculum have improved because from what I remember, we didn't do shit in that classroom. Maybe it was a very subversive teaching style. I'll always remember that place because my teacher, Ms Danielson (?) was the spitting image (no lie) of Geraldine Ferraro. She also burst into tears when the kids in the class told her there was no Santa Claus. I still can't figure out if she was putting on an act or what.
