I met up with the GS (Graduate Student) for coffee after work and she tells me casually that she is thinking of taking pole dancing classes this summer! After the smart phone incident, I have learned that when she says she is thinking of something, she has already decided about it. She is doing a summer internship at a fortune 500 company, that's okay. She is going on a couple of trips in the summer, that's okay. But where the hell did the pole dancing class come from?

Apparently, there is this dance school that is organizing a six-week pole dancing class for women only for $xxx. It is being marketed as an activity to help women learn to "appreciate themselves, recognize their inner beauty and enhance their self-confidence". What a load of b.s.! I have no idea how to react to this. All I did was react to it with incredulity first, then exasperation and sarcasm. One of the things I asked: What will your Paki professor think of this? Result: she did not invite me in for coffee when we drove back to her house after finishing coffee outside.
