Anyway, it was my first day at a new school and I couldn't wait. I was a little bit sad because I had left my big, suburban school last summer...
When I first arrived at the University of Maryland in 1998, I was more than a little intimidated.

At 18, this was Annie's first major trip away. She had answered an ad in the Melbourne paper: "Wanted: driving to Perth, female needed to share driving and costs, phone...

CHAPTER FIVE (Saturday, 20th April 2002) 'It was Carrie.' Heather stared at her equally naked companion on Rita's settee, unblinking. 'What was Carrie? Your subconscious trigger?
