Today, I was stalked.
I left my physics lab at around 2:10, in the latter half of class members leaving once they were done (no big deal, the lab period isn't over until 2:50). Sitting at a study table in the hall outside the lab were the
two women who kept asking me for homework help last Wednesday. The closest one gets my attention quickly with a "Hey!" and, before asking more specific questions on homework #4 (due tomorrow by 11:00am, two assignments behind where I actually am, so I had to dig mine out and think back, but I digress), says with a wry smile, "We're stalking you. A" (the other woman) "was just asking me 'has he come out yet?'"
So I helped them for a while today, before grabbing some lunch and working on my calculus. We actually exchanged names, finally, after a week+. And, true to form, I'm making friends more quickly with women.
Now, if only
they could help me figure out the calculus homework problems that have me stymied (finding the distance between two parallel planes in 3-space and the like). :-) Fortunately, the calculus homework isn't collected for a grade, and the professor is actually a lecture behind the homework, so if he doesn't go over what I'm forgetting tomorrow, I'll bug him after class and/or consult all my other resources when I get home.
[Edit: I did find what I needed for calculus in one of my Schaum's Outlines. Figured I would. I've noticed on occasion our calculus textbook leaves something to be desired.]
