Dr. Tan, scholar, hard worker, and spaz. Rapid and rabid gesticulation accompanies an eager, frank look that he gives as he attempts so hard to make the college algebra class respond to his cryptic questioning. Everyone is silent as he continues unmet by resistance. A studious individual bangs away at the keyboard of a laptop, the only one in the classroom, with a slight blush of embarrassment.
A line is a line and is proven to be nothing else. Dr. Tan goes along furiously proving lines while the class looks on, unflinching.
Now they are slowly awakening. A couple of lazy numbers come drifting up to the front whenever Dr. Tan probes, and a few stir from their unblinking stupor. Occasionally Dr. Tan poses a coy question, and pauses a moment to let it sink in. He then plows into the answer of the question, with an expression of one who is letting a freshman in on a school secret, or on the behavior of another at that last crazy party.
He emphasizes his point. He goes on explaining. Eventually 0=2. "Well, you know that's illegal. Well, it is blatantly false."

I believe I typed this in the fall of '08, back in Algebra class with Dr. Tan. He is a tiny, energetic, Asian man, who thinks that the day should indeed start at 8:00am with equations and calculations. And this is what I did in class.
Typed then, on my laptop, when it still had batteries, and discovered and edited more recently after I migrated back to it since the death of my Vista desktop.

Yeah, I'm that guy on the laptop too. Props to all my undefined homies.
