I don't think not chasing is not fair. They're not 12, right?
However, msbelle's reminder strikes a good balance of being nice and not being a nanny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I agree with msbelle. These are adults. They need to take responsibility for their own work.

Sophia, I think you're good. Send one more e-mail reminder if you want to, but otherwise I'd let it go. She's either got it under control and doesn't need help, or she doesn't but is choosing not to do anything about it. Her choice. If your percentages (and my math) are correct, this is only worth, what, 10% of the grade? Let it go.

That's a very reasonable response.
I made the mistake of looking at the weather forecast. Baaad idea. I'd better hope my shovel is indeed in my closet. I discovered last night that it wasn't in my trunk any longer. If it is truly awol, I need to wander by home despot tonight.

it has to be in your closet, how could you lose a shovel?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Thanks guys-- although I think those percentages are just the actual professor being a moron. That is, last year you got a lab grade and a class grade. As part of your class grade, you could either do a paper (graded by the professor) or a lab project (graded by the lab instructor). This year he is making them do both, but he didn't change the percentages to reflect this, so I am taking it as part of the skills area. I have no idea what the other instructors are thinking (and I doubt they are even thinking about it, because two of them are undergraduates and the prof doesn't ask for a backup of our grade). Anyway, I imagine the prof wanted the lab project to count rather more than he seems to imply in the syllabus.
Of course, the prof also didn't run the syllabus by me before giving it to them, so, really-- his problem. Actually, I didn't get a syllabus at all, I just read one of my students....

Would this help spice up the start of the day for non-morning people?

tonight I have to run home, wrangle the 2 cats into their box carriers, get them to the vet, then get them home with a bag of food. I think I need to call a friend for help.

This is why I take mine to the vet one at a time.
