A couple of hours after the tutorial I sat in on the Level 1 lecture for the course I'm tutoring. The girl I was sitting next to happened to have been in the tutorial today. The lecturer (my supervisor, coincidentally) asked us to turn to the person next to us (ooh, just like church! Ick!) and discuss our thoughts on the topic (about which I knew precisely nothing). So she turned to me, realised it was me and said

"Oh it's you! You already know everything!"

Part of me thought "Oh ****, is that what they really think?"

And the other part of me had a Homer Simpson-type moment and thought "Heheheh, actually I am pretty cool."

But I won't think that for long. Reality will hit soon enough :)
