Winter 2020 - For approximately five and a half weeks I was not sure whether the small German man lecturing me at 2x speed through my computer was real or not. Never actually having seen this man, I assumed the person identified to me as "Dr. Gaston M.U. Pflügl" was long dead, or simply had never existed at all. Then, at approximately 1:14 pm on a Friday afternoon, I received a chillingly haunting email from the small German man trapped inside my computer. This so called "Dr. Pflügl" had sent me an email reprimanding me for an "unwarranted and rude" comment I had made on the CCLE discussion forum that "affect other student". The email, riddle with a thick German accent and a fair number of typos , confirmed my worst fear: that the tiny man in my computer was indeed real, and was perhaps living at 2x, 1.75x, or even 1x speed. This revelation kept me up a number of nights; I was utterly perplexed as to how his existence could be. After approximately three and a half nights of pondering, I came to the thrilling conclusion that "Dr. Gaston M.U. Pflügl" was not living, or dead, or even human; he was, in fact, a digital demonic entity... how else could this man be immortalized at 2x speed? The TAs and LAs had sold their souls to Pflügl, turning wicked into wicked beasts that forced their students to attend 3-hour laboratory sessions that would take a mere mortal approximately half an hour to complete. Now, I can say I have escaped Pflügl's wrath in pursuit of that holy letter which I have not seen in years: yes, like many other poor souls before me, I have obtained the mystical "A-", but at what cost?
