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.

Boston is one of the cities they serve.

HMOG, I am SO juiced right now about this!!!!!!! It's out of Portsmouth, but that's no less convenient than Logan is, and it's much cheaper to park there. I could do an overnight trip!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Hello, my Bitches! I've been skipping/skimming, but I have been trying to at least lurk. How is everyone?

My student teaching is winding down. Friday is my last day! Eeep! Today and tomorrow is state testing, so I'm just proctoring exams and have short days both days. In fact, I'm home already! And then Friday is a half day.

I'm done! And now, I needs me a job, yes I do.

Always Anti-fascist!

The tattoo-with-marker thing reminds me of when Kay got shot on "The City That Bleeds"...they were planning to show her naked. The actress got wind of it and had one of her friends write Fuck You on her back to wreck the shot.(Cause the fellas were covered of course.)

So, last weekend I plugged out an awful lot of work. One of the things I turned in on Monday was a short paper for my short story class on Hawthorne, Melville, and Jewett.

I got comments back from my prof today.

I. Quoted. The. Wrong. Story.

Yes. Yes, I did. I went on and on about their use of the unpardonable sin, and quoted the wrong Hawthorne story, which is NOT, in fact, about the unpardonable sin.

So, do I fix the paper and turn it in again or let it go? I'm mortified.

Trust my rage

Did you write the whole paper about the wrong story? Was it a typographical error(s) or the wrong topic.

Personally, I don't think I'd fix either unless the prof asked me to or was going to give me a bad grade becuase of it.

Did you write the whole paper about the wrong story?

Yeah, basically. I got them mixed up and didn't re-read it to make sure it was the right story. So, I looked for quotes that worked with what I wanted to say and went with it. Yes, I really am that dumb.

or was going to give me a bad grade becuase of it.

See, that's the thing. He doesn't give a grade till the end of the semester, so I have no idea if fixing it will help or hurt.

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

vw--I feel ya. I once wrote a 20-page paper on the state of England when Elizabeth I took the throne, instead of when she left because I misunderstood the assignment.

And he mentioned this in his comments back to you? I'd just go to him laughing and ask what he'd want me to do.

(Not exactly the same thing, but I once had my hands on the wrong keys for a chunk of a quote in an undergrad and still got an A. the teacher thought it was funny. This was before spell check existed obviously.)

Oh, dear, Robin. You poor thing! 20 pages! I think I'd die!

Hey, by the way, how are you feeling?

Oh and my aunt was taking Spanish & Italian in the same semester and was pretty proficient in both and ended up answering all in Spanish on her Italian final. Fortunately, again, the teacher thought it was hilarious and let her re-take.
