I waited until just after one before I approached the admissions office. As it happened, they weren’t terribly busy and I didn’t have to wait unti...l someone approached me.“Hi, my name is Joel Timmins and I’m thinking of enrolling at Eastern Oregon. I have a year plus of community college credits and I understand they are transferable here. Can you help me?”“Of course. Nice to meet you, Joel. I’m Tracy Gillard.

I noticed that someone was peeping in the window at the back of the snooker room and was obviously spying on us.
