collecting the garbage

Ah, that was pleasurable. I had a nice little breakfast of coffee and donuts at 8:30 AM, in Hewlett. The TA continued his power trip by refusing to let us have exams until he personally verified that our books were closed. Then he announced the donuts were late and left us to start. Ten minutes later he returned with three boxes of donuts--not a token of his compassion but of our prof's (the same one who made us all CS 242 ROCKS pencils...and then in a surely unrelated move, handed out the course evals). He glanced around at all of us, who were still busy with the exam but now being tempted by sugar. Then he took a donut and left, smirking. He came back twice more to do the same thing, shaking his head as we battled our willpower.

All in all it could have been worse. Though I wanted to strangle the guy whose 10-minute "question" in class based on a paper only he had read turned into a 10-point problem.

Why do 16-year-old girls keep seeking me out? Apparently they assume that that there's onl y one Mike Brzozowski on ICQ (not an entirely unreasonable assumption, I guess...)
