> Haha, well, in that case you have a double obligation to solve the problem, not just for yourself, but for also for the net benefit that thwarting their strategy would bring to society.
to the university, yes. there is another institution, just across the bridge, where they can go to feel at home.
there is also an 'information commons' just across the road i discovered today.
aptly named ahahahaha. all set up with group work desks and i swear i have never heard anything like it... there they were... informing each other... about everything they think they know, no doubt.
right on top of it is (what used to be known as) 'desk reserve'. a space for a high demand collection, basically (currently assigned textbooks). you can only leave the area (so you can take it downstairs and sit on it with your colony, one can only suppose) for 2 hours. but... you can sit with it in that area for as long as you like, apparently. i guess the high demand books are really... not very high demand. for that system to work. or perhaps the infuriatingly noisy librarian is what makes that system viable...
it is good that we aren't all the same. it protects against environmental shift. i don't do well in their environment and they don't do well in mine.
it is good that not every girl wants to be a ballerina. the world couldn't support that many ballerina's.
