The South strikes again.

There's a girl in my program from Alabama. Lived there her whole life (I think), and went to Tulane. She must be incredibly brilliant to have gotten here, because her outward appearance is, shall we say, to the contrary. In fact, my Category Theory lecturer told her the other day, in front of the whole class, "You're just confirming everybody's stereotypes of Americans." (She had laughed really loudly at something the person next to her had said.)

The Category Theory lecturer, on the other hand, is a young Chinese woman with a gorgeous English accent who gives very funny lectures (which I didn't know was possible in math) and writes classical music reviews for the Cambridge student newspaper.......

Too bad her subject sucks.
