I forgot to write about this three weeks ago when I fell off my bike, so I guess I will now. The day after my little accident, my hands were pretty gross-looking because the scabs hadn't had time to form, and there was still a bunch of dead skin just basically hanging there. I was coming out of an interview and ran into Michael, Yujing's roommate. For some reason (probably because I was wearing a suit) he wanted to shake my hand, so after I did that I put on a very serious face and told him, "Oh, uh... maybe we shouldn't have done that. I have this flesh-eating bacterial infection..." Then I stuck out my palms for him to see.
Michael turned his hands palms-up, stared at them, and made an absolutely priceless face of shock and despair.
A few days later, I was telling this story to Michelle and found out that Yujing had fallen off his bike, scraped his palm, and played the exact same trick on her about two weeks prior. Good to see we still think alike, and more importantly, are equally useless on wheels.
Totally unrelated, but I just realized that, at least from my personal experience, Mr. Gesick completely failed at being a computer science teacher. I don't remember much about the class since I had him in 9th grade, but I do recall really disliking his class, and programming in general, by the end of the semester. I remember once when he asked me what I wanted to study, and whatever it was that I replied with (it was something quantitative), he told me I'd have to take a few computer science courses in college to get a degree in that. And I remember thinking, no... must... find way around this...
Anyways, I guess I'm just glad I took another CS course after Walton, taught by somebody who isn't Gesick.
Haha, that reminds me of Astrachan's joke that "when I was your age, integers were 16 bits." Well, they were 16 bits in Gesick's class too which makes me feel really old. Stupid DOS. Alright sorry, no more nerdy stuff for the next few posts.

your similarities with yujing are prime for double-teaming

you know whats funny. i really liked gesicks class, and i hate all the CS classes ive taken in college. but i think thats because these arent real ones either, theyre like matlab and excel vba stupidness.
