...first shopping week ever was a marathon. I attended more class hours in five days than I was required to attend in the entire remainder of the semester. I took notes in the classes I shopped, dog-eared the course catalogue most of the way through, sat through entire classes even after they started looking bad and spent a lot of time in the Coop reading books...

Oh, the toothlessness of it all! I'd heard drill sergeants, nostalgic for the hard old days, chalk it up alternately to gender-combined training, those end-of-cycle...
