So despite my objections on going on a scavenger hunt in COLLEGE, I set out into Morningside campus looking for a Post-It note with a doodle on it. My first thought was to head to Eppley. It’s the refuge of the arts here on campus (except for the theatre folk, who, like the velociraptors in Jurassic Park, must be kept separate) and I figure if there was anybody anal retentive enough to draw on a 2×2 inch piece of paper they would be there.
Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be anybody in Eppley at 2:40 in the afternoon. The only people in the building where Claire, Judith, myself, and some kids in an art class who gave me the stink-eye for being in the hall. After making a few circuits of Eppley looking lost, I decided to head to greener pastures. The only place I could think of that would have people around who wouldn’t be in class was Lewis. So I headed there.
I made a beeline toward the admissions office, since I’ve met just about everyone else in Lewis by this point. I surged through the door gaining weird looks from a man and the secretary. I hastily introduced myself to cover the awkward and explained why I was there, looking for a doodled upon Post-It note. The man exited rather quickly but the secretary, Diane Hay, looked around her desk for me, shooting sideways glances at me the entire time. She asked if I wanted her to draw one for me, and while I answered that it would be improper for me to suggest anything to her, I elevated and lowered my head vigorously.
After chuckling for a few minutes, Diane sketched an oddly shaped money sign, with some circles at the end of each line. It was done in red ink on 3M yellow Post-It note. While I personally thought it looks more like a u with a railroad through it, I wasn’t going to fight with the artist, especially after she had been so kind as to doodle for me. I thanked Diane Hay most profusely, and luckily she seemed amused by the whole exchange. I made a quick getaway, thanking my lucky stars that I had met someone as easy going as Ms. Hay to doodle for me.

Don’t you just hate it when people give you the stink eye?! Nicely done, but no quotes, Peter. I was hoping for an inclusion of some dialogue. A Diane Hay quote.
