Day 3

I awoke to text messages from Alicia. She had also red flagged The Squeaky Wheel. They had been chatting online the night before. This was her story: “I used to be friends with Ashley. She told me to switch to her section because we lived near each other and could carpool. Then she got a boob job and started wearing designer labels and hangs out with the cool kids, so she won’t talk to me. Also, we have never carpooled.” Fuck our Lives.
Class now is from Professor Tarintino. He only has that nickname because he looks exactly the same as Quinten. We were told by The Cute Girls that this professor was ‘hot.’ Infer what you will. Professor Tarintino is your average “cool guy in an uncool role.” He is under 30, and has told us about 15 times so far that he doesn’t have facebook because it was take away from the time he wants to spend writing music, playing with his band, kiteboarding and cottaging. He also gave us her personal cell number in case we can’t make it to class one time.
Professor Tarintino also seems to think he is an economist, and a radical. When discussing off the cuff, a new mobile provider, we busted into a conversation of split level marketing. Wind mobile was the new launch. But alas, it cannot function as it cannot afford to build its own towers, and the current companies are refusing to lease the space. Someone mentioned this being the job of the Canadian government. Tarintino’s genius response: “*sarcasm* hmm, it would seem as though the Canadian government is facilitating a monopolistic market *cough* the LCBO *cough.*” A cough sentence? From a Professor? Not to mention how off base the entire remark was. Feeling smarter than a professor, especially when you know nothing of the subject... brutal.
