You give yourself the once-over. Amber t-shirt: check. Chestnut brown cargo pants: check. White lab coat: check. Big round glasses: check (you're pretty-much blind without them). Mousy brown hair that hangs down just past your shoulders: check. Breasts: still a work in progress. Sigh. Everything seems to be there and in the right place, though not as much of it as you'd like in once case. You your book bag and head out.
You spend the 30-minute bus ride re-reading MacDougall's Treatise on Scientific Relativism. It was released last year and blew the side of the science community wide open. It implied, and in fact demonstrated, that experimental results could be skewed or even changed by what the research was trying to measure. MacDougall's main point was that the current model of 'how science is done' is fundamentally flawed, and that expecting mundane results guaranteed them.
Kimball Regional Secondary School is a 1970's era three-storey field-stone pile reminiscent of a castle. It's a large 5-sided structure with glass "towers" at each corner containing study areas. classrooms are located on the outside walls and administrative areas toward the center. The gym and pool are separate buildings connected by underground walkways. The auditorium is the first basement level; beside that is a maze of breakout rooms, technical workshops and labs. Rumour says there's even a firing range down there, but nobody's seen it recently.
When you get off the bus the place is already fairly crowded.
