I like "excursion."
Or Pooh Bear's "expotition."
We're deep in space, corner of No and Where.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

what's a more sophisticated way to say "field trip"? I'm talking about taking my students places, but don't want them to sound like elementary school kids.
off-site visit? off-campus trip?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sorry, was checking out the website. I am not familiar with them - it seems to be corporation reporting and I'm at a University, plus we have a separate Sustainibility Office that does our reports. Their list of reporting companies seems extensive and impressive, from a quick skim. Wish I knew more.
Thanks! I got the same impression, but I also couldn't tell if it was a secret club of polluters who want to pretend they aren't polluters.

I like "excursion" too. If that word doesn't quite work, you can look up the names of SUVs until you find one that sounds right.
"Our endeavor will be to escape on an excursion of exploration." would cover the Ford line-up.
To continue my nonsensical tangent, Ford should totally make an SUV named "Field-Trip". Sure, the Ford Field-Trip is just a minivan with some tough looking fenders, but it does have 24 cup-holders that can fit juice boxes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
And why does no one TELL US THIS STUFF when we hit puberty?
I know! It has to be a problem for a lot of women, since hypermobility is a fairly common issue. A bit of warning would have been appreciated.
Hil, your advisor continues to sound like such an idiot. I hope he doesn't have too much of an effect on your applications.
Madeline L'Engle's books. The Wrinkle in Time series and the Austins.
So good! I adored these, growing up.

Teppy really liked the Kiki Strike books.
TOTES! Also, I highly recommend the Skulduggery Pleasant books. SO GOOD.

Oh my goodness. A second year law student just asked me what the "A - H" printed on the spine of an Index volume meant.
She was looking for an entry for libel, and when I showed it to her, she told me that wasn't it because what I showed her was listed as "Libel and Slander" and she just needed libel.
Kill me now.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

A second year law student just asked me what the "A - H" printed on the spine of an Index volume meant.
How could she possibly not know that would be the collection of FCC regulations relating to Allyson Hannigan.
You can get the gist from this video though
