First Prof of the day on being a babyboomer: “Since I was born in 1947, I’m at the cutting edge of ruining your futures. Do well in my class so that I can continue to live like this: (picture of himself drinking wine)” I love it when people use powerpoint unprofessionally.
My new hobby: counting how many times I hear the word “metadata”. I already got sick of it during orientation so I figured I would masochistically track exactly how many times it’s said this semester by people who are only trying to sound pretentious. Luckily, I am now a graduate student, and not to be intimidated by buzzwords. Neo-classical post-colonial paradigm! Come on, guys, I was an English major. That’s like all we do.
Current “Metadata” count: 17
My tutoring group, asking me about myself to avoid working: “Why do you want to be a librarian when you’re so good at math?” I haven’t been told I was good at math since the ninth grade. Maybe I too could have been an SE with some POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT.

Number of people I’ve met so far who have heard of Rice before: 2. Way to go, “Who Knew?” Campaign. Way to go.
The correct response to “Why do you want to be a librarian when you’re so good at math?” is “Because math is boring as FUCK, kid.”
Jamesy, if you had any experience, you would know that fucking isn’t boring.
Patricia, I have told you your whole life you are good at math! And James, are you kidding me? Those are fighting words to a math teacher.
