I got promoted today. It was very strange: I was plugging along in my discussion group, wondering vaguely if there was something wrong with me. I had all the answers, and even though I knew they'd read the material, they just didn't seem to remember it or connect it to anything else. No big deal, it happens in tutorials. My cute little masculine-identified professor listened in for awhile, then arranged to see me after class.

Am I getting hit on? I thought. Wow. That would be cool.

But I wasn't. Instead she commented on the rather obvious fact that my group seemed to be in a different place than myself, and asked if I would like to be transferred to another group. I'm not 100% stoked about the whole thing, but it might be nice to talk to someone else who's at least mildly interested in gender relations.

Very strange movie tonight. Stacy thought it was a kung fu movie, and so I did too...but it was just a really odd exploration of the lives of two cops after they break up with their girlfriends. Some of it was very funny - the first protagonist collected a can of pineapple every day for a month, then ate all of the expired fruit when it became obvious that his girlfriend wasn't coming back to him. And the second cop had a habit of berating objects in his house for excessive grief. (I liked it when he yelled at the soap for losing too much weight, then the dishcloth for losing its strength and absorbency)

Other than that, it was just strange.
