    1. Thank you, Simon. I am still trying to figure out how to broach this subject with him without coming across as an old, fuddy duddy aunt. Telling him to go to Columbia instead of Belize could be the answer 🙂

      2. I’m guessing Sister Rita did not have many freshmen and sophomore girls trying to give her their bodies to get from a D to a C in Latin 101.

      3. LOL. 🙂 All these years later, I am still afraid of her. I knew a lot of nuns, but wow, she was the nun to end all nuns.
