"Well before you start crying because we've come to our last class together," Josh said, "have a bagel and a cup of coffee or hot chocolate or whatever in the back. Then grab an exam and try not to let your tears of despar make it impossible for me to grade what you wrote."

Thanks for that, Josh.

"See you around this summer--I'm teaching a field trip course if you're not graduating, and if you are, well, remember that I went to both Harvard and Yale and that makes me just about the coolest person you'll ever meet."

Uh huh.

"Have a good summer."

If you'd like!

"Hey, Mr. Lyman?" Gert said, looking very slightly nervous. That was new for her. "Do you have a minute?"

"Sure," Josh said. "What's up?"

Gert scratched the back of her neck awkwardly. "I was wondering -- on the off chance that I decide to apply to colleges, would you write a recommendation for me?"

"Of course," Josh said. "Where are you thinking of applying?"

"Assuming I can at all, it'll probably be one of the UCs," she admitted. "I haven't actually researched schools or anything, because I don't know if I can even go, but I liked this class. Maybe if Georgetown and American are out of the question, I could still do something in California."

Josh nodded. "You can also try for a community or junior college and reapply to one of the more noteworthy once you've got your Gen-Ed requirements out of the way if it's a money thing."

Gert nodded. "It's more of a responsibility thing, I guess. My world is one of the weirder ones. I'll technically have come into most of my parents' blood money by the time I'd be starting college, so I could probably afford it. I'm just pretty sure my friends from home are expecting me to stick with them." She paused. "Also, I have a pet dinosaur, so I'm not sure how the whole on-campus housing thing would work."

Josh snorted. "Yeah, the dinosaur might be a bit of a deal breaker anywhere but here. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try, even if it's online stuff while you're sticking with your friends."

"Yeah," she said, looking thoughtful. "Anyway, thanks. I'll let you know if I wind up needing the recommendation. What did you actually major in, anyway?"

"Government and prelaw," Josh said. "I always wanted to work in the government and around politics."
