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...

1:37:26
I'll never know ifshe saw me.
1:37:28
Probably not.
1:37:30
But in that moment,
all the bad memories,

1:37:33
all the things I'd ever
wanted to say to her,

1:37:36
it all came flooding back.
1:37:41
My fiirst impulse
was to run over there,

1:37:43
pound on herwindow,
1:37:44
and demand that she admit
she tore down those posters

1:37:47
and lied and cheated her way
into winning that election.

1:37:50
But, instead,
I just stood there.

1:37:55
And I suddenly realized
I wasn't angry at her anymore.
