oops, didn't mean to stop the conversation. I just figured my oranges (or more like crabapples) didn't belong with your apples.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
No stoppage! I was, um, pretending to work.
Does anyone know if Top Model reruns? Because I am filled with angst about the new time slot of Amazing Race. Yeah, that's right -- instead of writing my thesis, I've been pondering my tv taping schedule for the week.

I was just sort of out of things to say. I'm really not opposed to the Socratic method per se (or, as fanfiction would have it, per say), just, er, as it applies to me. And teaching.
What do you think, folks, could I say that to him? "I'm still struggling with this whole thing, and you're the one who could see the whole class and how I'm doing. How would you change it?"
Apparently grades have gone up slightly this quarter, largely because I took last week to let them all make up missing work. It was actually a time-filler, because for various reasons I didn't want to cover anything new, but also it's sort of painful to watch them get zeros to drag down their grade just because they weren't in class that day. Although of course they need to take responsibility for it themselves. Well, there you go. The eternal tradeoff.

It depends on the guy, obviously, but I think you could. Give your own answers first, and then ask if there's anything he could see that you didn't.

Part of my problem is actually that I freeze up when he asks me that, so I don't always have answers. Especially since it's literally as the last students are leaving the room.

Oh, that sucks. Can you tell him you need time to reflect on what just happened?

The first 5 minutes of West Wing was a thing of joy.

Probably. Mostly, I'm worried he'll figure out I'm a totally disorganized mess. I am getting better, but... well.

I am a firm believer in needing time to process something that just happened before you can really tell what it was. I'm not him, obviously, but I don't think that really has anything to do with organization.

I think they've been reairing the previous week's episodes on Tuesdays at 8.
