I may end up not skipping Besturingssystemen anymore. For some reason I’m always the first person to arrive to that class on Fridays (I usually get there at 8:15, and the class starts at 8:20; at 8:25, the teacher gets there, at 8:30, the rest of the class), and I usually pass the time by reading. A side effect of this is that teacher person thinks I’m a diligent student (and to be honest, the class doesn’t even tend to bore me), and that he’ll often strike up a conversation with me about random sciencey things.

He isn’t an expert on any topic, but he’s read a handful of popular science books, including, turns out, Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene. We spent fifteen minutes or so talking about that this morning, and somewhere along the way he lamented the anti-intellectualism of the student body in our hogescholen (as other students were coming in; he’s good at casually offending scores of people when he doesn’t intend to) and commended me for refusing to let higher education turn me into a one-track overspecialised idiot hermit, as it does so many people.
So yeah. I like that guy. And the class doesn’t tend to be incredibly boring, and I’m tired enough on Fridays that I can even put up with oversimplification.

This is some variety of spider. I thought it was a wolf spider, but it doesn’t look like it is. Identify it for me.
