Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Um. I still do this.

Yup, me too.

Thanks, PC. I just feel like a stupid whiny needy baby. Ugh. I'm all teary and shit.

I'm so glad the semester is almost over. I'm killing myself with the workload of this class to the point I've obviously gone insane regarding looking to the prof for help on stupid-ass shit.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Aw, Nora! {{Nora}} You're just stressed. You're not stupid. Promise.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Any time a response to an honest question makes the student feel stupid the Professor is at fault.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Just to play devil's advocate, that ain't necessarily true. I don't think Nora's prof is being helpful (esp. with question #1 -- @@) but I can and have told students things like "We covered this question. It should be in your notes. If not, it's your responsibility to look it up in the MLA manual."

Just so I don't come off as a total bitch: if they're STILL lost, I'd clarify.

Ugh, what they said, Nora. At least once a day someone calls me and tells me they need to ask a "stupid question." It's not stupid to ask a question when you want to know the answer! If you knew the answer, or didn't care, you wouldn't ask.

And so much What Scrappy Said!

I'm thinking you don't say it in a way that makes your students feel stupid and stressed. That is the problem I have with Nora's teacher.

True, Erin. I don't call what you described as an honest question, though. That's someone being lazy and trying to use the prof instead of doing their own work. Nora is a student asking for clarification.

Here's the new 'do.

Great cut, great color, 100% Jess.

Baby bump!

Yes, we had ear plugs.

Daisy got dropped off at the airport at 9:37 this morning. It was so fun having her out here - she's so easy going and just absolutely herself.

David you rock! Far too many folks don't protect their ears. I love it so much when folks care for their hearing.
