theoretically, all you have to do is touch it

Today I learned that the hardest part of the the local community college's writing assessment test is the touch screen you have to use to sign in. The kid behind me in line could make it do anything, but it wouldn't respond to me in any way until I used the end of my pen on it, and it seemed to like that fine.

I want to take an online class, and before you sign up, they want to make sure you have the ability to write things that won't make your professors tear their hair out. I may be sick, and I may be a physicist, but it was a multiple-choice copy editing test, and the lady sounded all impressed that I finished it so quickly.

We sick ladies take our ego boosts where we can get them.
