...surely at one point it was less of a foregone conclusion that a Harvard-Radcliffe graduate would look to the trinity of law, medicine and business for life-long employment. Some argue that we have witnessed the evolution of a so-called "New Class," with a bias towards hyper-professionalism. Or, we could see the shrunken job market as the primary source of this trend toward steady, lucrative employment...
These last two weeks have been a hazy existence narrated by caffeine-induced hyper-consciousness. And i concede an addiction to foreign substances: 'grade a ultra-pasteurized homogenized light cream and pure cane granu lated sugar.'

Looking through the breast implants has powerful effects. In the porno montage, they unmask the misogyny and artificial sex appeal of breasts.

(He mentions that the thesis is 88 pages, which means the chapters average about nine pages in length--what kind of thesis is that? Never mind, though--he loses it.) The silly boy's hard drive crashes, and he does not have a backup on floppy. Rushing through the Yard to Kinko's to xerox his one printed version of the essay, he trips in the snow, and his thesis falls through...
