I'm wondering, can this apply to college students? Our university library is open 24 hours from Sunday to Thursday. My roommate has pulled a couple all nighters this week, he came home close to midnight, then got up at 4:00 a.m. the following morning so he could be at the library again. He says that he was not scheduled to work until the end of the week on the count of the slow season(I used to work there before they sacked me for being one too many mouths to feed, so that checks out), but I'm wondering if he really called in to devote more time to this project. We haven't really unpacked much stuff from when we moved in last week because he's been so "married" to this project. I'm in the same major (though a junior) and despite learning the hard way that College is NOT "Tech School Part 2", I DON'T engage in this type of behavior.
But he sounds like a pretty straight example of the first category, doesn't he? Maybe an entry in Real Life about college students falling into this trap in some of the more project driven scientific majors?
