Snood! Can't say that word without smiling. Snood.
When I was in college, I had a crochet magazine that had a tea cozy in it, and they showed the finished product without being pulled over a teapot. It looked like a crocheted condom with a pompom on the end. For weeks my roommate and I made lewd teacozy jokes.
All my ~ma is belong to Tom and GC.
Portfolio~ma for GC and interview~ma for Tom!
Lots of ~ma for Tom and GC today!
I had a much different reaction to the snow this morning from Suz and CJ. BUT - mainly because the snow and ice, and resulting traffic accidents, caused me to miss my chiro appt. And since I fell down some stairs yesterday and I'm sore EVERYWHERE above my waist, I really needed to see the damn doc today.
Lots and lots of luck and -ma for both Tom and GC!
Suzi - insent about tomorrow.
Snood.
GRRRRR! Students! This asshole kid just called me. He asked if he could be still be considered for Early Acceptance because he didn't receive the application until after the deadline (November 1). He claimed that "someone forgot to send it" and it arrived after the deadline. I said "okay, fine. When did you receive it" He tells me a week ago, but it's taken him time to get the paperwork together. @@
Asshole, you knew when the deadline was. You should have called when you didn't get it by the deadline. You should have called when you received it after the deadline. Dumbass, do NOT call me and claim that you couldn't get started on getting transcripts and recommendations until you got the application and that's why you have to wait a week!
Asshole kid's mother just called me and claimed that he got the application after the deadline. Just checked FedEx, and he got it SIX days before the deadline.
Kid lied to me and said he got it a week ago. @@
Clearly he's nowhere near smart enough to get in anyway. I mean seriously, it came by Fedex and they're trying to pull this shit?
Oy. This is the time of year when I wish I didn't have to deal with students. Like the woman who told me she couldn't get her paper in on time because she was too upset about the election.
Seriously, what kind of pushovers have they been dealing with that they think these kinds of excuses will fly?
