Distracted.

The school’s internet is borked all day.

Let me put this in context. It is week 13 - the week when students scramble to finish projects and have begun to swallow their books before we face an onslaught of exams. An entire day without the joys JSTOR, MSN and FACEBOOK? That’s not just technical inconvenience. It is INHUMANE! How on earth can I entertain my short attention span now?! Oh the agony of boredom.

Well thankfully there are solutions. There’s always a solution: THE LIBRARY.

Other than a petri dish for new strains of student-bred diseases, the library has many other functions. Did you know it contains books? It has a nifty feature that allows you to take them home without having to pay a cent! *GASP*

It’s underutilized sadly. Because if you look apparently you can find things like this:

Inside cover sleeve says:

“Meet the Female Chauvinist Pig - the new brand of ‘empowered woman’ who wears the Playboy bunny as talisman, bares all for Girls Gone Wild, pursues casual sex as if it were a sport, and embraces ‘raunch culture’ wherever she finds it. Levy pulls apart the myth of the Female Chauvinist Pig and argues that what has come to pass for liberating rebellion is actually a kind of limiting conformity. Levy makes the case that the rise of raunch does not represent how far women have come, it only proves how far they have left to go.”

The first 30 pages sound interesting. It looks like an easy read. My take? Reserve your judgments and read the book first.
