"Continuing in my words of memory, of my college-years space sharing with my school-program football-team athletics star, I thought about my modern adult life of teaching invoked those superstitions words for cleats of competitiveness 'consciousness' cheering for my roommate on-field during games on Saturday from Autumn through early Winter every season/year. I continued to remember my 2nd (sophomore) year roommate experience with my helmet and cleats athletics star who talked liberally about winning and competing and rivalry-things and knucklebones (for Heaven/Hell)...ok."



ROOMMATE: I get this funny-feel you're fated to become some school-house man.
ME: Thanx (really?).
ROOMMATE: I'm thinking I'll be in the pro-level making TV-work for audiences.
ME: Sure (Facebook-like).
ROOMMATE: I'm thinking I'll read about you as an esteemed teacher in America.
ME: That's good reading, pal (Selfie-like!).
ROOMMATE: You see our rivalry-win in Carolina, buddy?
ME: I sure did and felt about our lamb-curry Sunday ritual (ok).
ROOMMATE: Good.



"Sure, the Sundays I shared my special dorm-kitchen made 'exotic' lamb-curry for my school-program football-team athletics star had become a standard for my college-arena experience for memoir; and it did (sure). Well, I thought about why my roommate mentioned his premonition-feel he envisioned I'd become a school-house man (a teacher!) someday, which was in all incomplete-truth an idea-image swimming around in my brain. Really, that Sundays-lamb share with my football roommate had become a diner-image for things of American Homeland know (of thoughtful coexistence!)."



FACULTY ADVISOR: These crayons sticks and doodles have you in teach-mode.
ME: Thanx (Selfie-like!).
FACULTY ADVISOR: I've a special gumption to advise you to become a kid-guru.
ME: Really?
FACULTY ADVISOR: You're be a fantastic elementary man or junior high fellow.
ME: Really?
FACULTY ADVISOR: Surely, there' some image-inspire thought for your time here.
ME: Yeah, college-time has taught me things of thinking of the helmets of others.
FACULTY ADVISOR: What's it like sharing dorm with our football star, man?
ME: Facebook-like (for knucklebones).
