t continues kicking sand
I get to revise one of the three papers. This one might be it depending on what I get on the one I turned in tonight.
Don't like lit crit.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Our wings are not tired
My parents instilled the belief in me that anything less than 100% was failure. I got grounded more than once for A's that weren't 100%.
Is this not correct?

Besides, one grade does not define you, either as a student or as a human.
It is tough for this grade whore to admit it, but the above is absolutely true. Also, those that matter would only consider a B for The Empress to mean Beautiful or Bodacious, or any number of appropriate B words.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Aims, a B is not a bad grade.
Wisdom teeth are weird.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I hate them. Hate. To me they say, "Good, but not good enough." They are the stepchild of grades.
Heh. My college had a very strong anti-grade-inflation policy. You had to pretty much create carbon based life to get an A.
You had to be exceptional -- maybe (maybe!) one A per class. C was for doing all the work. B meant you did all the work and your work was interesting and well written. A meant you had done something worthy of publication in an academic journal. An A- was worthy of cartwheels.

Aims, I love lit crit, and I'd be happy to help you revise your paper if you want the help.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Bs are no more bad than stepfamilies!

I know. I've had a candy bar and my view is improving.
Not as improved as it would be with say, a pint of Cherry Garcia, but improved nonetheless.

“Not dead yet!”
Is this not correct?
Don't get me started. That type of attitude has killed the love of learning in more people than I care to remember. I may have been a hard grader as a teacher, but I also instilled such a sense of pride in my kids for the grades they earned. Of course, we're talking fourth graders, so...
