I was late to class only to find no Sam Weller!?!?!

He isn't teaching the class. argh.

But it still looks like it'll be a worthy addition to the stine courseload.

I was so late that it took me a while (a long while, like not until I heard his voice) to realize I was sitting right next to a guy I had a class with last semester. We caught up and generally talked more in one class period than we ever had all last semester.

Also, when I sat down I felt a thudding in my chest...a boy that I had a dire crush on when I first started classes at Columbia was sitting in the semi-circle. I couldn't believe it! I thought he'd graduated? Maybe he was doing his grad school thing?

The funny thing is, I always thought he hated me because he could hardly meet my eyes and would barely speak to me. Well, being in a class with him made me realize his dilemma...he has a terrible time with stuttering. I felt so bad for him.
