me: you know what is disappointing about these papers
  they are all 10 pgs long
  i always wrote 8.5 pages for 10-pg assignments
  what is up with these children

amy: haha
  maybe they figured it was quantity over quality

me: as if i would penalize them for having to read less of their terrible writing
  stupid children

amy: haha
  they are young, they don't yet know better

me: they are 2-4 years younger than me
  funny how much a B.A. signifies
  i am relieved that no one has asked me so far what year i am in grad school

amy: are you trying to maintain the illusion that you are much older than them?

me: i am not sure if i am
  i definitely dress more conservatively on the days when i teach
  so yes?
  i also mocked a kid for asking me if his thesis was "money"

amy: hahaha
  you mocked a student?

me: i mock them all the time
  i am bad this quarter

amy: haha
  oh dear

me: but "they started it"?
  because they were such assholes at the beginning
  i also told them that their papers weren't the most mindblowing thing ever that i have ever read
  that was obviously a mistake
  i regret that
  but they kept asking me about the papers and i got irritated

amy: hahahaha
  oh man
  you are a mean TA

me: yup!
  it is just a weird class though
  like, half the class is friends with each other
  and whisper to one another in class

amy: oh odd

me: i think after i finally met with a bunch of them one-on-one they have realized that i am much smarter than them
  before they did not seem to know
  and i was irritated
  how is your potato?

amy: it is all right
  tasty
  not as good as the chips, but still tasty

me: butter is another thing i cannot bring myself to buy
  many dairy products that would make me happy are forbidden for some reason
  which is stupid because i have no problem eating them
  just buying them
  am i a lacto-freegan?

amy: you really need to get this sorted out
  it isn't like owning butter means you are suddenly going to eat a stick of butter per day

me: it might be!

amy: no
  that wouldn't even taste good

me: i do love yummy things!
  yummy things are all for me!
