...taken me four years to realize something very basic about Harvard students: we’re more-or-less normal. We may be, as a group, a little better-read and a little more socially awkward than college students elsewhere—but, pace popular conceptions of us, we aren’t really very remarkable.

A thrilled look would appear on the TF’s face as a multitude of raised hands appeared, instead of the normal insistent two. An intelligent conversation might ensue—you might even discover the real purpose behind the system of sectioning (and if you do, let me know). At the very least, your TF will be grateful to you for staving off the shrill onslaught, which, in my experience, never...
