Force-Feeding Duck Style 填鸭式

“Force-feeding duck style is my favorite Chinese phrase.  Its meaning in English is cram-studying, so when a person spends an all-nighter studying for an exam, they are force-feeding their duck.  I graduated from Oberlin with a degree in neuroscience, and beginning in June 2011, I started a two-year fellowship to teach English in rural China.  I believe that every day I am force-feeding my duck.  And you know what? My duck is pretty happy.”

I think I found my new favorite spot for writing papers in Mudd: third floor on the north side by the windows, where all the colorful chairs and tables are. 

Okay. This spot’s taken. Where’s your favorite paper-writing spot?

It wasn’t the beer fairy, but I’ll take it.

Sometimes our library is a magical place, especially during heavy study times.
