A Turn of Events

This afternoon i visited my math professor during his office hours. Prior to this little confrontation i ditched his class for the third time today. This was also the third time i had EVER ditched class. The first time i went on a little Chipotle/Spectrum extravaganza with none other than Monica, her roommate (our driver) and Anthea. The second time along with this time, i refused to leave my bed. Yes, the class is at one but please be reminded i have 8'oclock classes everyday. (It's amazing that i havn't missed a single one of those.)

The purpose of today's visit was so that i could retrieve my midterm. Incidentally, the day he handed them back was the day i took that Chipotle/Spectrum trip. It was an unpleasant trip as i tried to argue 4 points he took off my midterm, the 4 points that prevented me from acheiving a perfect score. My arguement:

-i got the answer right
-i did what the question asked
-nothing i did was wrong.

He replied with something along the lines of "well you only used *elementary row operations once and everyone else didnt really show that they knew how to do it...so....i dunno"

Let me tell you something about my professor. He is small, Italian, incredibly difficult to understand, and did i say small? His handwriting is also illegible. My professor reminds me of a cross between a hobbit, mario and harry potter. (I'm the only one who agrees with Harry Potter so for a fairer description perhaps the latter should be ignored.) When he gets mad in class from questions asked by unnamed indolent idiots in my class, he becomes even more incomprehensible and enjoys throwing his hands up in frustration. Also, his italian accent becomes even more pronounced as ever. When he lectures he likes to say "i dunno" a lot.

I think he hates me. I did not get back those four points i know i rightfully deserved. Perhaps if he took off one or two points, i wouldnt make as huge of a deal out of it, but this was four points. Four points off of a problem i did correctly as well as got the correct answer.

A tad bit mad was I.

To cheer myself up i deicided to get some yogurt. I arrived at Yogurtland only to discover that i had forgotten my wallet, leaving me in a sadder state than i was in before. On my walk back, out of nowhere, a tiny little boy stumbles out into the road before me. He is wearing a cap and those shoes that make a sqeaky noise every time a step is taken. This is the most adorable kid i have ever seen. Suddenly, my day is immediatly a hundred times better.



*for unsavvy math people, elementary row operations are just a way of simplifying a matrix to make solving a problem easier.
