What Stephanie said. Being nice shouldn't be a free pass for your students to disrespect you and the effort you put in to prepare things like study sheets for them.

give them the pop quiz and when they're horrified by their scores,

Oh, it won't take that long. It'll be just looking at the pop quiz that'll horrify them (and result in a chorus of "I lost my notes!"). Without either the notes OR having paid very close attention and having a very good memory, you can't really answer "When do you not need to define the UVW mapping?"

So my point will be made as soon as I lay the papers down. The question is whether they'll accept the lesson, or rise up and protest by.... you know what, I always overthink this shit. I can start calling parents right away if necessary.

Talkings-To at this point won't even have the benefit of making you feel better, Emily.

This is a good point.

Vengeance feels ggooooooooodddd.

Huh. I way overthink. There was no protest at all. Fact is, almost every other teacher they have is organized and fairly strict, so this is nothing new for them in general. It's just that I'm a total failure as a teacher.

Oops, did I just say that? I mean disorganized and lenient. Crap, this is not a good week for me.

Is this the hair thread? I posted over in Natter but maybe we discuss hair here. I forget.

I want to cut my hair - maybe later today - but I have no ideas other than to make it shorter. Here's a current picture:

Ellie is so pretty, Stephanie! And Frisco is adorable. So big already!

What if you cut a couple inches off the bottom and then angled the sides so it sort of frames your face?

I like Amy's idea! You want something easy? That can dry while you rock-feed-twitter, right?

I checked my email this morning and saw the typical spam of "I'm at home with no clothes on and I want you:)" etc. I thought, "Joy, another computerized bimbo". Then I saw the "sender's" name was Nigel, and I thought, "Woah, they've got me pegged, naked English guys." I marked it spam anyway.

Now if they just send me the "we're nekked and bored and playing with each other and want you to watch" stuff with two guys instead of the bimbos, we might be set.

I like Amy's idea too. I don't think I can do anything too radical and I don't want to go to a super fancy place.

I think I'm going to get it mostly off my neck be ause the hot summer is already here.
