[journal] I've been at the library every day that I've been at school. Writing my project one for my masters requires me to read every single piece of literature written on the subject. My teacher expects that number to be around 100 or so if we have narrowed the scope of our topic to the right size. My topic is about school violence and particularly about GLBT students in public schools. I have read so much stuff on the matter that it's coming out of my ass (pardon both puns!).
The library at this school has a central printer and a network of computers hooked up to it. Printing is free, so everyone prints off all their journal articles. Today at the printer there was a pretty girl waiting for something she printed off. I started walking towards the printer to go pick up my research. She grabbed the papers as they came out thinking that they were hers and she stood there reading it, clearly looking confused.
"I think that's for me" I said. She nodded and smiled knowingly, and so the pretty girl passed over to me the journal article titled, "Let's Stop Ignoring our Gay and Lesbian Youths."
