Freshman year. I was one of two freshman in a senior seminar English course. I went to my English professor for help with an essay, I think we were working on the revision to one of my papers. He commends me on applying anthropology and sociology to an English course - hey, it's what I know. Rosaldo and Ortner come in handy . Anyway, I'm trying to clarify a passage I wrote and I want to use the word "aloneness". Yes, it seems like a made up word. He is Mr. Oxford dictionary so of course he has to look it up because certainly, I little Ms. Weird Kid, must be soooo wrong. We look it up and there under 'alone' , definition number 13 is the word 'aloneness'. HA! I beat you Mr.PhD. :P
