I’ve been way too busy lately. I have no time for anything. No free time. Stanford is really crazy.

I was at an office hours yesterday with a TA, and this frantic guy came in the room. He started asking if the optional problems on the homework were for extra credit. The TA said it wasn’t, and only was for practice.

At this point, the frantic guy said something about how he lost points because for his other class, he did not know that the optional problems were for extra credit. Then, he proceeded to talk about how he has to get a 100% on every homework. At this point, the TA and the rest of us were chuckling: who is this guy? And why is he so anal? Homework really doesn’t account for much of the class. Then, the frantic guy said the most absurd statement:

We about died at this point. He was dead serious. The TA asked what religion that was, but no real answer was made.

Seriously, I am frightened if all my competition at Stanford were like this guy. People like that are maniacs. After explaining this to Tippy, she said she never knew people like that even existed. I knew they existed, but I just have never seen one up close.
