Hey physic friends,
I'm really not looking forward to showing up to the exam, so I am inviting you to join me in ripping off my t-shirt as I finish in an act of catharsis, so I will have something awesome to look forward to and motivate my showing up. So, feel free to bring a cheap t-shirt and one by one we will purge (if John Scofield is in the room we might get too scared and do it in the hallway or out in the cold).
-Sam and Jordan

To clarify, I wore a shirt over another shirt to maintain my delicate post-feminism feminine modesty.

Despite the snow on the ground, Sophia tears open a shirt, revealing a t-shirt beneath.
