Quickly Now!

Before I go to bed, there's just one experience I have to record because it was memorable and priceless. I went to discuss math placement with a professor at Reed today, and his office is in the library. It took me awhile to find it because the offices are sort of partitioned from the main library, so I spent a few minutes wandering around this dark and empty building. I walked down a dark hallway, all the doors were closed except for one, my destination. The professor slowly turned to me as he removed his headphones, and he quietly addressed me. It turns out that the guy was extremely nice, if a little quiet at first, but the entire aura gave me the humorous impression that I was in some scene from one of those books like Harry Potter, in which the lone student wanders down the dark, empty hall to meet the instructor mysteriously after hours. The exception is, of course, that instead of getting roasted in some odd cauldron, we talked about math for forty-five minutes--an infinitely more pleasant fate. I think I'm finally getting a glimpse of what I'm wasting away by rotting around in high school for an entire three years.
