Studying

A group of my classmates and I are working on a project that involves popular culture and medical anthropology. Tonight, I was studying with a friend. Her pop culture topic is Twilight. Mine is Harry Potter. The resulting conversation ensued around 11PM, laptops out, whilst sitting at her kitchen table.

Friend: Let’s play a game.
Me: Is the game called ‘study quietly for 2 hours?’
Friend: No. Truth or Dare.
Me: Like, ‘I dare you to study quietly for 2 hours?’
Friend: No. We can ask each other a question every 30 minutes.
Me: Like, ‘Do you like Lacan?’ ‘No.’ ‘Okay, time to study for 30 more minutes?’
Friend: No. Interesting questions.
Me: Like, ‘Would you sleep with Lacan?’
Friend: What does Lacan actually look like?
We Google Lacan.
Friend: Ugh, no, I would not sleep with Lacan. Okay, time to study for 30 more minutes.
Me: Somehow, I knew I wouldn’t like this game.
