GF and I drove down to San Diego (well, Solana Beach) on Saturday to see the hip-hop artist, Common (formerly known as Common Sense). We arrived in lovely SB around 2 and went to check out a few of the beaches, which were lovely. SB is a nice little beach town. At 3:30, we checked into our hotel and napped until 4:30. Then we went to dinner. After dinner, we went to walk on the main strip of SB. Again, very nice and quaint, even if the shops were all closed. We happened upon the club in which Common was to play that night only to see Common Sense on the marquee. "Hmmm. I remember there was a reggae band back in the day called Common Sense," says I. "Shit," says L. That's right, folks, it was Common Sense the reggae band playing that night, not Common. So, we went back to the hotel, checked out, and were on the road back home at 6:30. The end.

Happy Monday!

I'm home from school and work. I got very upset by an assignment that was returned that I couldn't stop crying and had to come home. I'm doing a little better, but I'm very angry.

What happened babe? Why did it get returned?

Oh, no. I'm sorry.

Why did it get returned?

'Cause he commented on it and graded it.

His comments are very invalidating and infer on several occassions that he didn't even read portions of the paper.

which class is this, AC?

Can you email him once you are less angry?

Aw, sweetie, I'm so sorry. When you've calmed down a bit, will it be beneficial to schedule a meeting with im to discuss the comments?

His comments are very invalidating and infer on several occassions that he didn't even read portions of the paper.

WTF? That is so unprofessional. Check, though, that the professor actually is the one who graded it. They often have TA's that they pass the job off to and just give the TAs basic guidelines of what to look for. It that's the situation, definitely take it to the professor to talk about it. Especially if you feel it was at all derogatory, that's wrong.

which class is this, AC?

Yes.

Can you email him once you are less angry?

Yup. That's the plan. I'm going to e-mail him my concerns, then probably meet with him Wednesday morning.

Check, though, that the professor actually is the one who graded it.

He is. He prides himself on grading his own stuff and being very thorough. I usually really appreciate his time and comments, but this time I'm just really pissed.

Basically, I wrote a piece on DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy...and I wrote out Dialectical Behavior Therapy). THREE DIFFERENT TIMES, he asked what "dialectic" had to do with DBT, since he only knows the term as we use it in class. UGH!

Ok, he needs a cluesticking.
