And I just realized that I don’t have materials ready for my cool revision workshop. Which I totally don’t have time for tomorrow anyway because I forgot about it.
And I also realized that I don’t have any of my gifs on this new computer because they are on the old one that doesn’t turn on. I need to get that one fixed or the hard drive pulled.
I am sad. And all of my crying gifs are not accessible.
For my sake… please imagine a looping image here of Emma Stone ugly crying and eating ice cream. Or possibly David Tennant standing in the rain. Your choice.
Across the Universe - “Happiness is a Warm Gun”
One of my favorite sequences visually… about equal to “I Want You (She’s so Heavy)”
I feel as though I should post something.
…I’ve been very quiet on tumblr lately. I was without a reliable computer for several weeks and had the transition between terms.
I’m now in week two of the summer term. It’s going well.
I was offered an additional job at work. I declined.
I’m trying to figure out my life.
I also got a new iPod Nano through the 1st Gen replacement program.
I named it Mr. Wilberforce Clayborne Humphries after my favorite character from my first love in British television, “Are You Being Served?”
“Are you free, Captain Peacock?”
You had told me once after class that you are waiting for the first student that tells you in your review that you are the worst teacher ever. It will not come from me.

A student in my ENGL 101 Class. It’s simple things like this that validate all of the headaches and make me love my job.
From reports of Vodka “eyeballing” to drinking hand sanitizer to get a buzz, strange and often dangerous memes in teen substance abuse always seem to be making headlines. But is there really an epidemic of bad ideas spreading across the teenage age-set?
It’s hard to say. As Dr. Claire McCarthy, aka “MD Mama,” put it in her column for Boston.com, “All of us, if we think about our youth, can think of something colossally stupid we did.”
Dr. Niranjan S. Karnik, assistant professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at the University of Chicago, would agree. “Young people have been experimenting with substances probably for longer than we can imagine these things have been going on,” he says. What has changed today, however, is the speed at which teens can disseminate their ideas through social media.
My mom’s response to teens doing this is hilarious: “When I was a teenager we just drank beer…”
My life.
All 90 English 091 assessments are done being graded!!!
Oh wait… I have to pick up lord knows how many 095 assessments and grade them over the weekend?
.
Eff these banana trees!
Sometimes I feel like a total bitch when I grade exit exams. And then I have to remind myself that these students that I am failing don’t belong in the next class. And passing these students only hurts them more.
