1:35:03
Now I am one of them.
1:35:06
Besides, I'd always dreamed
of living in New York.
1:35:08
All that excitement and culture.
1:35:11
Living in the city brings
surprises all the time.
1:35:14
Once in a while, I even bump
into former students of mine
1:35:16
from Carver.
1:35:19
Oh, sure, my apartment's
a little smaller
1:35:21
than what I was used to
back in Omaha,
1:35:23
and the rent's pretty darn steep,
1:35:25
but it's got a lot of character.
1:35:27
And I'm cozy enough.
1:35:31
Besides, it's great
not needing a car.
1:35:34
And I get a lot of reading
done on the subway.
1:35:37
Some days I even walk to work.
1:35:41
The job market is
pretty tight in New York,
1:35:44
but after hunting around
for a while,
1:35:47
I fiinally landed a position
in the education department
1:35:49
at the Museum of Natural History.
1:35:51
That's right.
I'm teaching again.
1:35:55
When a school brings
its students to the museum
1:35:58
on a fiield trip,
1:35:59
there's a staffof
both volunteer docents
1:36:01
and trained educators like myself...
1:36:03
who pick up where
the classwork leaves off.
1:36:07
And I've started
seeing someone new.
1:36:09
Her name is Jillian.
1:36:11
She works at the museum, too,
in Signs and Signage.
1:36:14
She's really different
from Diane, and, I don't know,
1:36:17
I've never met anyone
quite like her.
1:36:19
She just got out of
a long relationship, too,
1:36:22
so we're trying
to take it slow.
1:36:28
You might ask if l ever
saw Tracy Flick again.
1:36:30
Well, I did.
1:36:32
Just once.
1:36:34
I was down in Washington for
a museum educator's conference,
1:36:39
and I stayed an extra day
to do some sightseeing.
1:36:44
After an inspiring morning
on the Mall,
1:36:48
I was on my way to
the Holocaust Museum when...
