No, that didn't make much logical sense.
KENT THE GRAD STUDENT.
^^ His name is Kent, as opposed to the "Kevin" I'd been calling him the entire class.
But first! Background story!
Our 2.5-hour physics discussion/lab is taught by a TA. Robert is the one assigned to our section, but he was out of town last week. Being a responsible (albeit irksome) TA, he arranged for two replacement TAs, one for each day he would be missing. We got Kent on Thursday and Chris today (supposed to get Chris, at least -- he never showed up and the class left after fifteen minutes of waiting outside).
So KENT. He's not dorky-cute like Matt "Chalk-Pants" Rodrigues (the calculus TA), but hot. Hot like Koji Mori, but with more jalapenos. Or whatever Italian people eat, because I'm pretty sure he's Italian, too! He fences! He graduated from Northwestern!
(He probably has a girlfriend!)
(shut up shut up shut up)
Shorter than me by like an inch but WHATEVER.
Going to go look up the fencing team's schedule now!
UPDATES
After an hour of Google stalking careful research, it looks like
1) Mr Shirer is disgustingly smart (hence the BA from Northwestern, duhhh). His senior thesis on "Aerogel Growth and Something Something Something" only cemented my conviction that advanced, comprehensive physics is not in my future.
2) He was a Siemens Competition semifinalist in his senior year at Lincoln High, NEBRASKA.
I don't know where Nebraska is.
3) He has a girlfriend. Her name is Kari.
4) He was "the top kid from Northwestern" when he fenced there on a foil, but he's not continuing at Davis because the fencing here is only a sport club and that's not legitimate enough for his hardcore fencing tastes.
