Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sad, Hil! Bronchitis sucks!!

I'm going through shoeboxes of mementos and the letters from ex friends are making me cry. This sucks. I miss them, but I can't ever have them back like that, after all that's happened, and after all the time and changes...but god it hurts anew now.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OK, that whole "haven't needed to use my inhaler today" thing? Not so much, anymore. Was feeling OK, but now coughing won't stop. Perhaps seeing the doctor tomorrow would be a good idea.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

She essentially said in her introduction that if we think we might have a family or medical emergency that will keep us from doing an assignment, we should just drop the class now.

Yes, because you should expect an emergency. Dumb.

I'm not sure if 7 chapters is excessive, because I'm the jackass who would have to read 1-3 even if I wasn't told. I don't like starting in the middle.

Average for these classes have been 2-3 chapters a week, with the occassional four chapter week. I probably would have looked over the first three chapters anyway, although I am probably already familar with what is in them. But if we are going to be "required to use the terminology in chapters 1-3 throughout the course" than why be coy about it? Just assign chapters 1-7 since that is what she is essentially doing anyway.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sounds like the prof wants to scare people into dropping the class. That might mean she'll be more reasonable as the course continues, it might mean she's a hardass who assigns a lot of work and will give people grief over legitimate problems. Hard to say.

??????????????????

Spoken like someone who has never had any kind of emergency in her life.

Or who even knows what that word actually means.

Yup. It must be nice. Sadly, in a five week period, I might not be able to predict what will go wrong with me, but it is highly likely that something will.

And, you know what? Screw her. People with disablilities shouldn't get an education? That's discrimination plain and simple. I understand wanting people to take the class seriously, that's important to her. But, those people have stuff in their lives that are equally important, like their families or their health.

Rule #1: Don't be an asshole!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You have professor Maggie Walsh?

Bwah! I'm smiling now for the first time all day. Thanks.
