waiting on a data run, sorta trying to pay attention in class. It's not holding my interest. Granted, I'm half-asleep too.
I like Brian, and he's doing his best, and he took a lot of time to help me out on Friday, and I owe him.
It's the other instructor I'm not so fond of.
You've seen me mention Glushko around. I'm pretty annoyed with him. Because it's obvious he plays favourites. And it's obvious that I'm not one of his favourites. He can't even manage to acknowledge that I exist. I first noticed this last Thursday at Parker's attempt at disproving that there's no such thing as a free lunch. (He rolled out the barbecue and grilled food left over from Cal Day.)
Well, Glushko was there. He smoozes with students. And he repeatedly pulled people aside to talk to them. But when I attempted to get into a general conversation he was holding with somebody else, he proceeded to ignore anything I said. And so I've been watching and seeing him in the labs, and he'll go talk to other students, but he's not said a word to me. Not a single word. Not even 'hi'. Grr. It really bothers me and something needs to be done.
So...what do I do now? does anybody have any advice? How do I let him know that he's not being fair?
Then again, I'm not a true disciple of the XML way, so there's probably no hope for me.

Well, I know to avoid him for future classes and I'll just try to get things done and deal with it. At least Brian (who is co-teacher in one of the classes) *is* fair, and has done a heck of a lot to help me out.
As I said, I'm not a disciple of the One True Way of XML (it's a handy tool, but just that), and he is, of course, the prophet. :P
Thanks, anyway. At least I know there's not much that I can do.
