I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Re: Breast reduction - my mom had it done about 8 years ago and has been so happy with it. Pretty much solved the pinched nerve in her shoulder.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I think failing a kid for using IDK on an answer where they were told to be clever is more extreme than I'd go personally. In situations like that I have just opted not to grade the paper and said that the child would have a zero until things were done correctly. It's the same short term result with the net long term possibility of fixing it and redemption in general.

I think that's a good and clear way of doing it. It's the lack of clearly stated expectations for what is failure that grate at me. You want to enforce your expectations? Communicate them first. Say what you've got a zero tolerance policy about FIRST. Otherwise, the leg you're standing on is hollow and riddled with termites.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm a little concerned that we're attacking Aims' sister, who is not here, so Aims is getting the brunt of the whole thing.
