I've actually decided to pursue it. We'll see what happens... I'm starting to get excited about the possibility

Cool! I think you'll be awesome.

I don't have a definitive place yet (my new employer is paying for corporate housing for a bit), but I have a few possibilities to look at when I get there. Which will be the 27th, after visiting Mal's grandpa for a few days.

The front-runner is a house called Druid Hill. The only problem is that I want to buy it, not rent it, and the owners, understandably, don't want to sell.

Yes this. And frankly, if she tries to fail you for not attending class even just once, because of health issues, I'm betting she's in violation of ADA.

I'm not saying that she's not being a nazi, but all she is required to do is accomodate disabled students according to the guidelines provided by whatever university office has been designated to certify students as needing accomodation under ADA.

wooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed. There must be much getting of the together! I just subbed to the DCistas list, in fact.

Really? Damn. So all she has to do under ADA is make sure sj can get into the room?

Feh.

Pretty much.

I have found, though, that professors are usually pretty accomodating when push comes to shove. I have a prof this semester with a strict 3 absense policy. Because of my hospitalization, I missed A LOT more than that, and he continues to work with me. This prof sounds like a real piece of work, though.

All kinds of ~ma for S, Sean, which I forgot to send yesterday. I hope she's doing much better today.

This is an online class, right, sj? Not that it matters, because hello, nice attitude, Professor Bitch, but maybe the guidelines are different for that, too?

Yay for Raq being Stateside soon!

Happy birthday (again), beth!

There must be much getting of the together!

Yes, this.

sj, are there reviews of this professor that you can read on file somewhere? They might tell you whether this is a stance that she adopts the first week of classes for weeding purposes, and then lightens up.

I'm in an oddly chipper mood. Hrm.

In possibly related news, we have switched to half-caf coffee and I slept great last night (we were previously caffiene free then breakfast tea drinking, so I was concerned).

My favorite thing about the Carpenters video? The Andy Gibb hair on the 7 guitarists.

All kinds of health-ma and coping-ma to Sean and S. (((you guys)))

Gorgeous pictures. Gorgeous SA.

Good luck on presenting yourself and your abilities in the best possible light, Suzi!

Felicitations on the Anniversary of Your Natal Day, Beth! I'm wishing you a year of pleasant gardening, house puttering, and interaction in your wonderful neighborhood, with yummy stuff to drink and rewarding work to do!
