Interestingly, as I walk along the streets, I am routinely asked: &ldquo;so, what does @!*% mean?&rdquo; &ldquo;Heck, I don&rsquo;t know!&rdquo; While I would consider my vocabulary broader than that of the average English speaker, she still asked me some rather random words.</p> <p>As a reward, I agreed to go shopping with her. So, today I woke up at 6:00am, she took her GRE, and by 11:30 I was off to lunch and several shops. Those of you who know me can sympathize with the pain I was in, as you know I don&rsquo;t really like shopping. At one point she was browsing some shoes, and I sat down on the couch. Looking out over the store I recognized not a single male, and couldn&rsquo;t help but laugh inside. Luckily, we finished lunch and found her a pair of shoes by 2:30 p.m., after which I headed home.</p>
