I'm the "unconsenting touch" chick who lost her power cord.
So I have apparently ensured that at least 50% of the first year class knows me by name and face. Yesterday in Torts I drew attention to myself by pestering the professor about why the phrase "or unconsenting touch" was necessary to the definition of battery, since it seemed to me to be subsumed within the other key phrase, "offensive contact." (For a discussion of why I was making an issue of this,see below.) The pestering alone would only have gotten me face recognition. But it was right at the end of class, and after leaving the class I discovered I couldn't find my power cord to the laptop. When an extensive search failed to produce the power cord I shot off an email to the student list serve (thus sending out my name) - which reaches all the law students - saying basically "I lost my power cord - I was that girl pestering the prof about unconsenting touch in Torts - anybody accidentally pick mine up?" (Very possible since a lot of people have Dells that use that power cord. And btw the list serve gets used all the time for stuff like that so it's not a big deal.)
So this morning everyone was asking me "did you find your power cord?" And in fact when I went to the student activity fair this afternoon, this third year who happened to have given my group our tour of the lawschool doing orientation was like "oh did you find your power cord?" I was trying to figure out how she had managed to put my name with my face. Of course I do have my orientation nametag stuck to my bookbag, mostly to cover up the Dell sticker, but I don't think she was in a position to have seen that before she said that to me!
But yeah, so I'm the "unconsenting touch" chick who lost her power cord.
