Then again, I'm a bad example, because I'm returning their sonnets they wrote today while wearing a tshirt that says, "Shakespeare hates your emo poems."
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So now this girl is being punished for the actions of students in previous years' classes. How is that okay?
As a whole, it's not. In some individual cases, it is sometimes the only way to get a point across.
And for the record, it's not her method of teaching. It's a tool that can be used as reinforcement with a class to illustrate expectations. It's the same thing as reading a wonderfully written paper out loud to the class to illustrate good writing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just got a letter stating my insurance company will cover breast reduction surgery. Wow.
Wow indeed! And yay for you!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Considering that it can prevent other medical problems this is a good thing. Not that insurance companies see the big picture so clearly very often.
Ayup. With my history of back issues, not to mention burgeoning shoulder & neck problems, they're looking at an effective means of cost control down the line.
Now I have to figure out a way to break it to my boobies.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
As a whole, it's not. In some individual cases, it is sometimes the only way to get a point across.
There's a tension with saying that students should know better already -- because we would never have used acronyms -- and only the most OTT correction will get students to know better.
I don't see why the student had to have been failed, when she was going to make a huge demonstration to prove her point anyway.

Our wings are not tired.
I watched breast reduction surgery on medical tv a while back. It was incredible. A friend had this done years ago and she was so happy. She didn't know what she loved more, being able to buy clothes that fit right, or being able to bend over to garden.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have just massacred a bowl of couscous with pork, basil cheese, almonds, snap peas, and craisins.
