Rantings on the phone #3

Do you have any idea how boring Discrete Structures can be? It's stuff you think you know because on paper it's tables and venn diagrams and graphs and you're all "Step aside people! I gaht this. Imma have to ex-or the shit outta this table."

You're half way done. Your forehead is  sweaty. Your hands bloody. Your mind swiftly calculating mildly complex 0&1 combinations. Your fingers moving swiftly against the clock. Your pulse is trained to be calm because you are aware a single mistake will have a domino effect, the kind you wait half an hour for and pay a bomb for but comes with all cheese, very little chicken.
Almost there! Your table breathes. Ever so slightly. It opens its eyes and meets yours. It lifts its grateful hand and touches your face and parts its lips. It softly whispers the answers you worked so hard to seek!

It's the wrong answer.

WELL #-&@%+!£ YOU !

Frustrated, I dial the number of my class mate Raju Pardesi. (Again, they pick the names. I personally find this one particularly suave)
Me: Inspire me.
Rp: What?
Me: DiS is boring. Inspire me.
Rp: Uh... If you write b relation a you get bRa.

We laugh.
It was enough.
