The world is against me today…
It cheered me up with the news of 2 more lbs lost, meaning I’m under a benchmark weight that I haven’t been in over a year…
But we aren’t going to make rent this month without begging more money from parents, and Firefox decided to eat all my bookmarks and force [...]

Hi again.
Sorry for my continued absence; I find it fairly hard to update a blog devoted to my teaching methods when I feel like I’m being a shitty teacher or when my students are being shitty human beings. I think it’s also a struggle for me in that I have no idea what I’m going [...]

Dear Students,
By now you’ve all read the carefully worded, intricate messages we professors write at the end of your papers. They often accompany a grade which does not make you happy at all, but if you read what we’ve said you’ll find the subtle justification and explanation of said grade. I’m not sure you all [...]

Really?
Because your grandparents (aka the elder generation) are the fucking picture of perfection in both mind and body?
Were they [...]

My feet ache, my ankle has been rubbed raw by my damned sneaker, my thighs are thudding with pain and my back hurts inside and out (sore muscles plus horribly uncomfortable bra all day equals SAD PANDA back). My head is swimming, I feel like my semester is already in danger of sucking so much [...]

I’m never around, but I think that’s fairly shitty of me.
I started this blog to record my interactions with students, my feelings about teaching, etc… so I think I should keep on trucking with it.
In other words, I have grading to do and I’m avoiding it by doing other things.
I’m semi-watching “Nightmare on Elm Street” [...]
