The next morning, the two students discuss the strange behavior of upperclassmen. They notice that many of them have lost a lot of weight in the past few weeks. They wonder if they'll be assigned to a lab when they're seniors, since they won't be able to stay up all night drinking and partying. The students decide to help out in the lab by borrowing the truck from the professor's lab, which they call the "white lab." The students wonder why the professor is so strict with his students, and they wonder if he's just trying to keep them away from the real world. The two students agree that they can't stay away from their studies, but they wonder why they have to work so hard to get credit for their hard work.
