Taking classes as a staff member, I'm always appreciative of having a student employee in one of my classes to ask for notes from when I have to miss class. This semester it's just a bunch of freshman girls in my class, so no such luck. After missing class due to a cold yesterday, I was prepared to be the creepy guy asking for notes until my professor emailed exactly everything that was gone over, everything discussed for people to refer to later, and everything due at our next class.

We discussed the band and specific albums for a bit, as I noted that he was ten years younger than me and I had gotten into the band before he was born. "I even listened to Bruce's solo stuff from when he left the band when you were... five."
