It Feels Like Home
So the Combinatorics exam I had today made me feel like I was back at Hobart: I finished in about 30 minutes, and the entire class looked at me like I was some sort of foreign object when I walked out as they were still on the first half of the exam. And even though I technically am a foreign object, I think the whole idea of someone finishing so early was rather astounding to them. Who would have thunk that a class of Computer Science majors would have such difficulty with Combinatorics proofs? It's good for them, though. My class next term will be interesting because all of the Computer Science students won't take a non-mandatory Applied Math course, and I'll be able to see how many fellow Math enthusiasts I have around me. My guess is that I am one among few...

Dude, I thought you went to William Smith. Please reconcile:
So the Combinatorics exam I had today made me feel like I was back at HobartSo either you do go to Hobart, or you have become common and rather annoying! Hmmm.By the way, just to clarify, Hobart and William Smith are separate colleges. I do not go to Hobart College. Do not make this mistake, as it is quite common and has the potential of becoming rather annoying.
Good job on your test. I hope you get an out-of-this-world -- not merely foreign -- score, too.

Also, I would like to point out that Rebecca Gutwin is the coolest person ever.
That is all.

Note that while I do not attend Hobart, I tend to refer to the male counterpart of my school when I am talking about the level of academic difficulty and other various frustrations. I don't really know why...

I think it's your adaptive method of reducing cognitive dissonance.
