Be Cool, Stay in School

Here is the kind of asshole I was on Tuesday afternoon: hogging an entire booth in a crowded coffee shop for six hours, nursing a single iced latte, all to catch up on a simple subject you breezed through in middle school while I was too busy writing terrible poetry and pining for Matt Anderson.

I was also taking the kind of notes I should have taken in eighth grade, because I don’t remember any of this shit.

Quarks? Where was I the day we learned about quarks? Also, do you have any idea how creepy my Google history is, now that I’ve tried to write some pretentious story about nuclear fusion?

    I would have thought you had made up the gluons if it were not for wikipedia!

    Apparently they only cover the Standard Model in MN middle schools. The rest of us have to wait until college… or perhaps an accelerated AP Physics course.

    Why isn’t there a craft-product called Glu-On? Quick, someone call Blue-Q or Accoutrements, I belong in retail.
