Just my luck, the class (actually a discussion) right before Japanese (the only class I have in which attendance matters) is clear across campus. I only have ten minutes to walk to class but it usually takes me about fifteen, give or take a couple of minutes. Anyway, on Tuesday I came to class about two minutes late. I walked in unnoticed and sat down in a seat close to the door. I asked the guy behind me if the TA had taken attendance and he told me that she had. I decided that I'd wait until after class to tell her that I was here (I still wasn't really sure if she knew my name, seeing as she couldn't remember my name all of fall quarter). It was about 20 minutes into class and we were doing partner work, practicing a dialogue. My blue-eyebrowed, overly-excitable TA suddenly called my name. I said "Yes?" to which she responded "Did you come?" She stared at me expectantly, waiting for an answer. I stared back at her, not quite sure what to say and someone somewhere behind me said "Tell her no."

I always thought she was strange.
