The first time she realizes that maybe college isn't going to be horrifically cruel and unusual punishment is her first day at the station.
And it has nothing to do with stacking CD's.
She sees this Jesse kid and can't help but think: "nerd."He's got the big brown eyes and the huge happy-go-lucky smile and the whole "the world is a wonderful place" feeling just oozing off of him. And it disgusts her. No one should be that cheerful. For crying out loud they're in a dusty room with a radio show five feet away and she's not allowed to go anywhere near it.
But just as she gets onto her soapbox to complain about how she wanted to play music, he regales her with a sarcastic comment: "Not me. I'm her for one reason only. I really love stacking CD's.
And it suprises her.
She doesn't smile; she's way to good at hiding her amusement, but she does give him a little bit of credit; at least he isn't totally serious and nice and crap.
Maybe this nerd can be funny.
Maybe this is just going to be the normal kind of cruel and unusual punishment.
