Excuse me, but who crowned you king of the CS department? I should be listening to my lecture, but all I can think about is the blog post I want to write about this class. It is computer science compiler. I am the only female. And I am not invited to the boys clique.

When I walked into class today I was insulted three times before the lecture even started and yes the professor was in the room. Now, I understand joking and whatever I can laugh with some of it, but today I literally wanted to cry.

I am a fucking senior! This should not be how I feel in a room of my peers. Am I being too sensitive about this? Should I just take it as a part of life? Or shuld I think that this is somesort of psychological form of asserting power - telling me where my place is? I'm sorry, maybe I'm not as good a student as you, but I don't feel like it is acceptable to be treated like this. I feel like it will escalate if I try and argue or send the same kind of comments back. Any suggestions?

This is the LAST freakin' CS class I have to take, its not starting out well.

P.S. This behavior has been displayed by more than one person who happens to attend a particular jello cult church in town. This shouldn't suprise me.
