I gave away Landlady Chang's plastic poncho tonight to the sandwich lady downstairs. I had gotten home late, forgotten to pick up groceries, and arrived home without anything to eat and 8 minutes to spare before the sandwich, I mean bocadillo, shop downstairs closed. The counter lady was completely gracious, though I was keeping her from closing the shop and she was worried about biking home umbrella-less. But Landlady Chang gave me a poncho. So I ran downstairs and gave it to counter lady. I think it made my night more than hers. And if that doesn't get me a free Orangina in the future. I don't know what else a girl has got to do.
Prof Papa: If they get the right answer even though the work is wrong and you think they copied off the person next to them, give them full credit. The tests are hard, but the better they do, the less they go to you with questions.
Oh yes, it's Day 3 into being Prof Papa's teaching assistant and already, we've fielded our share of crazy questions from zealous students. And already, he's given us the same speech thrice. It's OK though, because the gems that come through are worth it.
Moi (on how Gender & Health Perspectives is a course relevant to my 'professional future'): I'll figure something out to tell my adviser. Women, health, poverty, economy, policy... toss those words together-
Prof Papa: You've convinced me. I'll sign it.
Moi: Now we just need to talk to my adviser.
Prof Papa: If you guys ever need anything signed. Just have me do it.
