:48:01
I thought there was really
something wrong with me.

:48:04
You know, every time
I went to the bathroom...

:48:06
I would sort of, you know,
:48:08
- Check and see if l—
Yeah, if I got my period yet.
- And go look.

:48:11
And, suddenly l—
:48:14
O- Oh, I was wearing—
I was wearing these...

:48:17
dumb little white lace panties...
:48:19
you know, that my grandmother
had given me for my birthday or some—

:48:22
And, um...
:48:25
suddenly I felt this...
:48:28
wet, warm feeling
in my crotch, you know.

:48:32
And then l—
:48:35
I felt sort of excited, you know.
:48:39
But then I felt afraid.
:48:42
I was afraid. I was afraid...
:48:44
that I was going to get
blood all over the... chair...

:48:49
all over my pants.
:48:52
Then the bell rang,
and then the class got up...

:48:56
and then I saw Karen, you know.
:48:58
And I smiled, and I winked
at her, and I went like that.

:49:02
And she came over, and she said,
"What are you smiling about?"

:49:05
And I said, "I think I got it."
And she said, "Oh, thank God!"

:49:14
I don't really know why
I'm telling you all this.

:49:18
- I mean, it doesn't really—
- Well.

:49:22
Those are very scary moments,
and you think a lot about that
when you're a kid. It's natural.

:49:28
- And what's happening now?
- Everything seems very different.

:49:31
I'm— I'm not able to...
:49:34
know what's gonna happen.
:49:36
You know, before I had a sense that...
:49:39
- life would go on, and—
- Yes.

:49:42
- Now, it's like every day is like, "Whew!"
- Yeah.

:49:45
What's gonna happen?
And I don't know how to control it.

:49:47
- And I don't know—
- Yeah.

:49:49
I don't know—
I don't know what to do.

:49:52
Your whole life has been
disrupted, discombobulated.

:49:57
And... it's a new life right now.
