"The Real World: Hartford::

Rory Gilmore was sitting in her last period class, counting down the seconds until she would hear the dismissal bell. So far, she was on nine hundred. She couldn't wait for her Spring Break to begin. Though she hadn't made any plans yet, two weeks of doing nothing sounded great. Just as Rory was about to reach 600 on her "Countdown until Dismissal" she heard the most terrifying word in the human vocabulary, project. As soon as she heard the word come out of Mr. McKinney's mouth, her head popped up from her notebook, which she had been doodling in for about twenty minutes now. *Great, nothing like a project to shatter a girl's dream of doing nothing for two weeks.* "Miss Gilmore, you might want to pay attention for this, considering it's worth 30% or your overall grade." "Sorry, Mr.McKinney, it won't happen again." Rory replied, a little embarrassed. "As you all know, this is a Psychology class, and one of the topics we have been discussing is human behavior. So, I have decided to devide you up into four groups of six, There will be an equal amount of boys and girls in each of these groups...' Mr McKinney began. *It just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?* "Your group will live together in an apartment rented by the school for two weeks. There will also be about fifty cameras in this apartment. They will be placed in the kitchen, the living room, the recreational room, around the pool, and in all six of the bedrooms. Don't worry, the cameras in the bedrooms will automatically turn off at 10:00 P.M. and will remain off until 6:00 A.M. the following day. As for the rest of the cameras, they will be left on at all times. You will be filmed almost every minute you are in the apartment. After the two week break when we return, the tapes will be exchanged with another group, and will be analyzed using what we have learned in class. The analysis will be due four weeks after we return considering there is so much data to analyze. Are there any questions?" No one raised their hand, and so Mr.McKinney began to assign the groups. "Tristan DuGrey, Cole Mandrake, Hunter Cartwright, Kendal Guinevere, Paris Gellar, and Rory Gilmore." Mr.McKinney announced. *Why me? What have I done to deserve two weeks in the same apartment as Tristan and Paris?*Rory's thoughts were again interrupted my Mr.McKinney's voice. "You are expected to be packed and ready to leave for your apartment by Sunday. You will then report to the school to pick up the key and the address for the apartment, and a copy of the rules for the apartment."
