They can tell I'm a geek because I dress just like Steve Urkel.<br /><br />Confused, that is pretty terrible about the postgrad. All this stuff definitely happens wherever/whenever people want good grades but don't want to do actual work.

Respected UK uni too.

During office hours, when people drop by to get help on their algebra, conversation often turns to what I do when I'm not teaching math at the prison. I made the mistake once of saying "well, I just finished law school..." Now I hear all of their legal woes. I smile, nod, and tell them I'm not a lawyer (which is true, I'm waiting for my bar exam results), but that doesn't stop them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141281059998464389.post-79356867011979661712011-11-07T16:19:06.223+04:002011-11-07T16:19:06.223+04:00Your training is complete, sand-Padawan.Your training is complete, sand-Padawan.blewynhttp://blewyn.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141281059998464389.post-38665394499904930772011-11-07T12:10:23.212+04:002011-11-07T12:10:23.212+04:00Thanks, JD and Anon.
