Sina: I went to see my prof today.

Cass: Oh yah…

Sina: Yahh. I told him how much trouble I was having, how I just can’t seem to get the material.

Cass: What did he say?

Sina: He just told me he was sorry. It was the most depressing thing… he was looking at me and talking to me the same way I do when I have students who I know try hard, but will never "get it" because they’re just not smart enough.

Cass: [pause] Hang in there.

Sina: I wanted to tell him "I know what you’re thinking!"
