Doing Time: Notes from the Undergrad is a collection of ten short stories by acclaimed author Rob Thomas, detailing the experiences of students fulfilling their requirement for graduation: 200 hours of community service. Thomas runs the gamut of possible projects, from the traditional—volunteering in a nursing home or at the public library—to the innovative—directing a drama program for “at-risk” junior high students or spending 24 hours in a Bowi-a-thon. Set in and around the familiar halls of Robert E. Lee High, and including a few characters readers will recall from his second novel, Slave Day, Thomas taps once more into his well of astoundingly accurate high-school characters and emerges with a collection that is at times witty, tragic, inspiring, and pensive.
