Bowling for the Bo'

It's Superbowl Sunday. I missed the first 2/3 of the game because of an ASB seminar (totally better use of my time than the game, by the way, v. Common Good of me). And as I walked to the main library, lamenting how I was about to spend the next 1/3, I see Karina walk out. A fellow Soc & Anthro honors kindred spirit. "She's done with her work and ready to go enjoy the game," I think bitterly. But, to my delight, Karina was as miserable about her work as I was! She was just going to the cafe for a break. And as we stood in the chill of the night, our faces whipped by the wind, who should come walking by but Will? Yet another anthro honor kid. Also ready to spend Superbowl Sunday at a carrel in H&L. Where were my fellow soc nerds, I wondered for a brief moment, but it didn't matter. 60% of the Soc and Anthro kids were typing away on this fine evening, and if you round that figure up to 100%- everyone was suffering along with me! Who needs friends, junk food, and entertainment when you can sit alone at a desk in the library, where the halls are silent but for the sounds of your fingers tapping away at the keyboard, but where you push on, warmed by the thought that you are not the only geek in the world, but there are at least two others struggling right now, just like you.
