Got on the bus early in the morning and made it to Novi to pass that sociology exam. Which I did, not extremely well, got only a 7 (on the scale of 6 to 10, 5 being fail), but then later learned that that WAS the extremely well, as only a handful of people passed that day, and even fewer the day before. Perhaps six on first day and four on second, out of almost hundred.
In the evening we celebrated, I guess. This was my last exam for the freshman year, and I cleaned them all. ISTR that Vanji and his girlfriend (40+ years later they are still married) came, we had some beers and played lorum for a while. My folks were already on the coast and we (we two, Arpi and a friend of his) will join them in a couple of days. We had two small, two-person tents. The backpacks were more of the hunters' than of the globetrotters' kind, but will do.
I don't know why I think this was about the time when the story about the Tenner came about. The Tenner was a cute chick, possibly one of those dozen I chased in second grade, or was a friend of one of them. Blonde, long haired, and quite busty, which fit her well, there are some where it looks incongruous with the rest of the persona. Had just enough to catch the eye and earn the nickname. It ended with a bunch of guys who dragged her into an apartment and each of them took a turn on her, classical gangbang. The apartment was on fourth floor, if I got the story right. At some point she went out to the terrace, jumped and killed herself. Don't know what happened with the guys, I hope they earned a lengthy stay in prison. There was no talk about that, but then the story of the event also didn't circulate much, I heard it once, maybe twice.
Two Vietnams united, finally.
