Wow. So today a student was having trouble getting her id out of her bag. When she finally produced it, she smiled at me and said "I'm sorry, I forgot to ask how you are doing." As if we were friendly.

I swear it's such a foreign concept here that I almost shed a tear or two. She was polite, smiled and read the newspaper.

To truly understand why this is a phenomenon, you have to realize that already this morning I'd received at least three annoyed eye rolls and four of those tongue clucking sounds followed by a 'pssss' like a tire slowly deflating, all this for me asking for ID. Which they have to show every time they come in. I mean, how hard is this? Truly.

So thank you Newspaper Girl. Have a nice day.
