All of the sudden, I am starting to miss my EE 43 lab although it almost made me break into tears right before I dropped it. My latest partner was quite the dimwit. He only knew how to strip wires. But my TA Brendan was the best. He would help us even through the cold and thin. Mae thought he was cute too. The thing was…he was cool compared to the other strict, FOBbish TAs. Just like what one of the lab assistants noted when Brendan came in wearing a suit (he usually wore a t-shirt and baggy shorts even in zero degree weather) for an interview with a huge corporation…\”Brendan! Don\’t work for Cisco! You should be a hacker!\”
