" It's so fire we got assigned to the same semester group project," Kit Keller said as she settled between Faith and Justin Duncan in Intro to Sociology. As usual the young woman was chugging yet another energy drink and Justin was eating something healthy and disgusting looking. Faith was wondering if she should drop the class as she listened half heartedly to the professor/ her ex Ada droning on and on about gender stereotypes.

" Yeah ," Justin said in between loud crunches of the limp green stuff he was shoveling into his mouth haphazardly. " I think we should do culture biases in society. "

Kit disagreed , saying," Nah. Boring. I did a paper on that in high school English. Got an A. I actually sent a copy to Dr. Norland - Lane. " She cut her eyes to Faith who was trying her best to stay awake. Maybe she and Joy should not have stayed up late binging Knots Landing reruns online last night. As Faith hid her sudden yawn Kit said," I wonder if he actually got it. I used to write to him a lot in high school. Anyway,  I think we should do a study about women in media. All different types of media. Print , podcast, tv , satellite radio. You know? I bet I can get Dodie Angeletti to talk to us about her work with the Aura. She created it you know. "

Faith suppressed a sigh. " Actually Nigel Norland created it. She's just the editor. " And, Faith thought, the only reason she was editor was because Andrew and Glory had asked Nigel to give her a chance on the magazine. It was just a fluke she was as good as she was running it. When she was not being a megalomaniac bully from hades.

Justin said as he crunched a piece of celery," Even better. We can do both. Cultural biases in media especially concerning LGBTQA people and women. We can include interviews with people like Ms. Angeletti and Mr. Norland. Oooh , this is going to be fun. "

Kit opened her second can of Zam. " I am doing an internship with Dodie so I can arrange her interview too. And since Faith is connected to the Norlands she can reel in Nigel Norland. This is so fire. "

Faith looked over at her with astonishment. " You have a double major and a minor. You also do work study in the psychology department. And now you are doing an internship. In your freshman year. When do you sleep? " It was hard enough for her juggling school, Joy , the part time job at the law firm and other shit without the possibility of losing her mind. And to think she was considering adding a pregnancy to the mix. And was actually getting excited about it.

Kit shrugged.  " What is sleep? That's what Zam is for. "

Ada declared in her usual booming and deep voice," For example, the police department and women as it applies , Miss Lane , enlighten us on this topic since you were a police officer at one time. "

Faith sighed and leaned forward to respond to the professor just as she heard one of her other classmates in the back mumble loudly,"  Defund the pigs. "
