As some of you know, I'm going back to school to get all educamacated and shit. Most of the classes I take are generally a mix of grads and undergrads, so it can be a wide range of ages. However, this semester's class is very undergrad-heavy. Besides the professor, I'm clearly the oldest guy in the class by a good 9 years... which can lead to some interesting situations, as it did this morning:
I had a note passed to me.
Seriously. I think I have to go back to my freshman year of high school to remember the last time I had a note passed back to me during a class. If memory serves, the classic "Do you like me? Check Yes or No" query was responded to with a resounding "No" by Kelly, the cute new girl that had just transfered into my school. She may have even added an exclamation point for emphasis. Fucking Kelly.
Today's note wasn't nearly that juicy. She had some snide remark about the professor in her head and apparently she just needed to share it. I don't think I was singled out specifically for any particular reason other than the fact that I happened to be sitting right next to her. Still, she passed me a note. It was bizarre. I didn't even really respond. I just looked at her with an expression on my face reading "Did you just pass me a note? Are you fucking kidding? That really just happened?"
I briefly tried to revive the note-passing craze in bars last year. Joe and I were watching a band and I wrote him a note, reading:
"I think I'd poke the bass player chick even though she's a little sloppy. Would you poke the bass player chick even though she's a little sloppy?
[ ] Yes
[ ] No"
Joe wrote his own choice:
"[X] I hope you have a stroke."
We all make choices, people. Have a good weekend.

hahaha... passing notes in bars. that'd be pretty awesome to get going.
well.. awesome in a nerd way. damn.. i can already hear my bandmates busting my balls about this.
I had a note left in my mailbox last semester by the socially-retarded guy in our dept. He told me that if I wasn't interested, we could just pretend that the note didn't exist. So that's what I did.
Are you kidding? Passing notes is awesome! I got through many classes that way. Granted, that was in high school. But I would have done that in college too, if skipping classes wasn't an option, which is what I generally chose.
Keith sat in front of me in Calculus in 12th grade. We passed notes -- full of comic strips, games, and those of the "why is Kendra so fucking crazy" variety -- all goddamn year. Sometimes I would put the notes on his head, because I'm a jackass.
Somehow we both passed calculus, and Kendra got a song written about her.
Senior year was awesome.
We never got caught red-handed, but we certainly got glares from Mrs. Prouty when we randomly burst out laughing during differential equations lectures.
Some of our best ideas began as parabolas.
Of course we still have all of these notes. Dorks.
"Some of our best ideas began as parabolas."
...i wouldn't have thought so until now, but i think that statement qualifies you guys without question as a math rock band. have fun with the sequencers!
We got one of our old band names from a sad cartoon boy sitting atop an inverted parabola.
I think it had something to do with L'Hospital's Rule.
Wow.
> Of course we still have all of these notes. Dorks.
I think you should let the public see some.

Haha That's crazy.
I'm back in school now too, and it seems that a LOT of my classes are kids fresh out of high school.
I feel so old!
Notes. Hahaha. *shakes head*
Priceless.
