Not a lot of time for discursive entries as finals make their demands. So, in quick digest format:
What I Have Learned This Week:
1. The word "faggot" is still a sufficiently incendiary insult that it can instantly escalate a simple snowball fight into an actual punching-people-on-the-subway fight. (This one was quickly broken up, fortunately.)
1a. Recent events notwithstanding, the conductor on whose train this occurs will be more concerned about the door being blocked than about the two teenagers battering one another.
2. Nothing in one's dress, appearance, or conduct can help one escape being called "a hot little number" if the other party is sufficiently drunk and inexplicably fixated. Eugheugheughgghghghgh.
3. There is no relief in completing one exam when two more are in the barrel.
