76/365: Heidi

She was half Chinese and half Swiss and wore the title "swink" proudly. She love love loved Jane Austin and wearing dresses over her jeans. One time when she was doing a presentation in front of the class, one of our teachers told her to stop saying "um" all the time, and challenged her to finish the presentation without saying it once. She couldn't, and it was far less painful to see her just talk the way she always did.
