You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I find that we have to spoon feed students a lot of stuff that I wasn't given in college, and that failure spoon feed results in students who panic and flail and find themselves unable to perform said task.

I wonder if this is related to the psychotic hoops they all jump through now just to get into college. I'm 100% convinced I would, today, never get into the college I got into 15 years ago. Like, I'm smart, but I can't tighrope-walk while playing the trombone and fishing drowning children out of the bay, you know?

When you spend a year (or more) becoming convinced that the whole world is going to end if you get an A-, then you get to college and... remain convinced that the whole world is going to end if you get an A-.

The status is NOT quo.

Nutty, I think you're right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I got a C or D in health one quarter in high school (don't ask), and I never thought it would affect my chances of going to a good college. And, in fact, it didn't.

Um, aren't all finals cumulative for the year? At least for my schooling (both high school and college) they were. I can't remember a class that didn't include stuff from the entire course on the final.

In high school, I think most of my final exams were cumulative. Not in college. Well, not in the liberal arts classes I was taking. I suspect the engineering classes were different.

Why, is it pot related?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Better living through chemistry. Profoundly unsafe, but not for work. For life.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Trudy: I'm not sure, but there has been talk about the officiant in Fiji having had records--which have been destroyed. I got the impression that the State Department has records but never showed them to her. That's a good point, though, hadn't thought about it.

Ha. It should have been -- that would have been less stupid than the actual reason.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Am sitting here eating the M&Ms I got as a favor at the rehearsal dinner.(They have the bride & groom's names on them- ok, shortened versions of the names)
