being back: pros
- going on rounds while cconing. as Victor used to say: "entropy...it's always on the way."
- free food from SWE.
- overhearing snippets of conversation such as:
"...when i log into unix from my home computer using ssh..."
"...it's like the force in Star Wars..."
"...algorithms..."

being back: cons
whiny freshmen complaining loudly about everything. particularly when i must stand next to one in line at the bookstore for twenty minutes.
