Plastic Drawer Five
It’s time for the bottom drawer! This one’s weird. I never open it, and as you’ll see, some of the contents surprised even me.
- Oops, looks like I forgot a reference book. Introduction to Algorithms, Second Edition
- A three-ring binder labeled CSC101. It contains no 101 material, but does come with a few scattered handouts and notes from other classes, along with all the CSC305 handouts. Clint Staley’s 305 course. I failed that shit hard, but I’m sure that makes me a member of the majority.
- A Santa-sized gift sack with “Season’s Greetings” on the front.
- Two glass…objects. I mistook them for paperweights, entertained for a moment the thought that they could be used as small shot glasses, and realized they are candle holders. I don’t own any candles.
- Two Uno cards found in the back of the drawer. What’s interesting is I dont remember seeing them before. They’re covered in girls’ handwriting. Let me transcribe, errors intact. One reads, “Youre HOT! xoxo (turn over)” and “if youre ever in the bay area call: [list of phone numbers] <3 Danielle, Erica, Kat!” The other says, “(for the guy with a blue truck) YOURE hotter!! xoxo P.S see other card for information. Thanks for the ride to town.” I think I would remember if I were one of the guys who met Danielle, Erica, and Kat. Evidence points to my freshman dorm roomate, who drove a blue truck, and this would explain how somebody misplaced the calling cards. Whatever the case, no, these are not up for grabs.
