Nope, nothing to do with your age, she's just got an enormous chip on her shouder. I had her twin in a class I taught a few years ago who was so in-my-face belligerant that I was rendered nearly speechless. Nearly. I was fortunate that she was also unable to finish anything on time or show up for exams, so I was able to fail her.

We had to register by standing in line for hours and hours. I remember a lot of standing in line. If we wanted to talk to a professor, we had to actually go to his/her office, during "office hours." <BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, I'm old and tend to go off subject. Point is, email somehow allows people to say things that they would never, ever say in person. Lovely girl, that Krusty.

I once got an email from a fellow student who wanted to convey to me that even though she felt the strong and ill-advised desire to write about her genitalia (in iambic pentameter)--which often caused in me the strong urge to vomit at the task of group edits--she was NOT to be trifled with as a SERIOUS WRITER and just because I was SO MUCH OLDER than her didn't mean I knew more than her because, she'd like me to know, many people tell her she has an old soul and is likely God's vagina, reincarnated.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and her email was something like: goddess(name of girl who will remain anonymous)ATbananasluguniversityDOTedu<BR/><BR/>NEVER trust a person who puts "goddess" in front of their name.
