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!
