There’s a feeling called the drifting force that makes you want to shift your course and find a better vector on boring study nights. They’re so many things a girl starts missing, like hugging, dancing and oh, yes kissing, when she lets a dry syllabus control her life. After several hours of intensive reading, your intuition is that what you’re needing, is something we’ll politely call ‘delights’. But you make the almost painful choice and factor out your inner voice and you pick up yet another book and not a boy, because, you see - it’s really a necessity, not a choice.

Well, it’s not like Peter can read my pages, do my labs, homework or my volunteer hours. Hey, what are BFs good for anyway??

Love is as love does. And romance helps.

This is coursework, not reading for fun. Bookworms are the BEST =]

I just love your last stanza, yes for me books are a necessity, not a choice, and far more fulfilling than some silly boy :)

This is university coursework, not reading for fun. Boys definitely have their place. =]
