Don't fret java! Mr. Jane has already said that since I get to go by myself this time, he wants to go next time, and he wants it to be this year!

I wouldn't count on it actually being this year, cause that's kinda how he is. But, certainly sooner than it took get out there this time.

So I went into school today to drop off and pick up a couple of things, and then I headed home to start working. I've modified my approach. Rather than trying to do one complete set of essays at a time, I've shifted to reading all three submissions from each student. I read/comment/grade each assignment, enter the grades in my gradebook, and then write the narrative comment. It seems to be working much better than the other approach. Unfortunately, it is still very time-consuming. I've finished four students so far. I'm averaging about 20-30 minutes per student. Only 11 more to go today to get back on track...

I'm afraid I'm going to have to bail on the date ND and I were going to go out on tonight. Dammit.

ETA: Are you saying Clovis is adorable, Pete?

I wish I had a girl who looked good. I would call her.

but do you also wish you were taller?

We already SAID that part, skipper!

I did! Aimee wished she was a baller.

Ha!

Now we need a rabbit and a hat with a bat.

Don't forget the '64 Impala!

I thought maybe Plei or juliana would supply that!

Ohhhhh crap.

He uses it as a weapon, remember? If Ra Al Ghul can weaponize a frikkin' flower, you better believe Clovis can weaponize CUTE!

Ooooh! It's 5:52! I can put on makeup and head to the bar now!

Bye y'all.

(BTW, before I get to SF, I want y'all to know that yes I talk like this so don't be shocked by my accent, especially when I get my drink on. I also tell dirty jokes, usually involving southern belles).
