In Which Middle School is Hell
I can still remember with perfect clarity the day in eighth grade when a boy walked up to me at my locker and said, “Hey cutie.” I was sweaty, having just come from gym class, and I was only at my locker to buy some time before I had to go to math class where the teacher hated me and the numbers didn’t make any sense. But there was a boy standing next to me and he called me cute and I had no idea what to say. As it turned out I didn’t have to say anything because the girl he was with just laughed, a cut off cackle into the oversized purse she was fishing through.

and anxiety from irreparable brain damage
and somewhere off to the side treads uranium,

TRUE STORY:
When I first heard about random particle movement, I was in 8th grade. And all I heard was “brownie in motion,” which, while odd, didn’t seem any stranger than any other phrase I’d heard in my science career.

It was then that I learned the phrase was “Brownian motion,” but only after telling my brownie in motion story to my fellow physics majors. They were pretty appalled, but it seemed to explain their curiosity behind why I was always the person boosting the test curves by failing everything.
