Well, I really don't think it's stalking, but it did sure look weird to me. Guess we'll see how it plays out. My presentation is finished, and his is next week. He was not a big talker in other classes. Clearly he didn't like me, in hindsight. I thought he was just a jerk, didn't think it was personal stupid comments to me only. I will ignore him. If he does not, I'll ask the instructor to tell him to avoid me. There's no reason we have to interact. And I'll mention the weird course thing.

Except next time he interacts with me, I'll tell him to stay away from me. I have never had to do this with anyone. In the lab, we had to get supplies at the back of the room. When I got mine, suddenly he was there sticking his hand in the container so he could get lots at once, whereas I was picking and choosing. Why the heck didn't he just wait? He should avoid me, instead. Idiot.

My husband was very angry and paced back and forth outside the lab when I was away at the bathroom, and glared at my partner from outside the big "fishbowl" windows. (I had no idea he was going to do this. I thought he was coming to meeet me only at the end of the lab.) He feels protective, but I have mixed feelings about him doing this. I don't think it was the best idea.

Funny you should mention the Santa Barbara thing (Elliot Rodger (sp?)) . I can identify with that guy, because I am an autism spectrum social reject. However, though I have been that way all my life, never been part of the social life, I have never plotted to hurt anyone.
