The Stresser
“Oh my god, I can’t even talk to you right now. I’m SOOO stressed. I have three 20-page papers due tomorrow that I haven’t started, eight finals on Friday for classes I didn’t take, and I haven’t slept in two weeks. I don’t even remember what my room looks like. Also, my computer crashed and I lost my entire thesis the day before it was due.”
The Faker
“Yeah I have a lot of work…like papers, and stuff. Oh, you’re going to Lamont now? I’ll come with! Wanna stop for lunch first? I could use a break. Actually I haven’t started.”
The Rager
“Reading Period?? More like Raging Period! What are you doing tonight? Man, I’m gonna get housed! I don’t even care where I go as long as there’s plenty of alcohol. Tomorrow’s definitely gonna hurt…but whatever. It’s not like I have anything else to do.”
The Deserter
Automated Reply from Frank Lee Dunzo: I’m currently out of the country for all of Reading Period and won’t be able to access e-mail. voice-mail, or even mail mail. I may come back for my exams, but I’m still not sure. Maybe you can get in touch with me then, but probably not.
