i'm doing a subject on the history of new york at university. we have a 65% final essay due on friday. and no, i'm not complaining about having to sit at my laptop while scouring over secondary sources for hours on end. (i'll leave that til tomorrow and the next day.)

today our lecturer told us that some loser person decided they didn't like photocopying, so they ripped hundreds of pages out of books that are in the reserve section of the library.

out of print books.
books other kids desperately need for friday.
books kids in future classes will no longer be able to use.

how horribly selfish. not to mention stupid--it's not like the lecturer won't be able to narrow down to who did it, simply by going through all the people who answer that particular question.

the ironic bit? the books were on organised crime in 1930s new york.
