Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?  

[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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Whoa. I felt like I had enough energy to wash some dishes and I went in the kitchen and D is cleaning it from top to bottom. I tried to make some tea and he wouldn't even let me do that. Being sick ain't so bad.

I've got two students who failed Calculus 1 last semester, but need to complete Calculus 2 by the end of this semester to stay on track for their majors, so they're retaking Calculus 1 this semester but also taking Calculus 2. I really cannot see this working.

And now I have tea & am watching Date Night.

Barb, let me see if I can follow the process here:
1. Person finds your prose good enough to take, and takes some.
2. When you object, she decides that you suck
3.Also, that you write dumb books and have stupid hair.

Crime makes you stupid. Next week, I have maybe a date, maybe an f2f, with someone I met a month ago. First one with a woman...first one in general in a crazy-long time. We kind of click, but it's not like LOVE or anything like that. I might be bi like I was straight and get stuck in the friend zone a lot. But that is okay right now, given that I usually spend Saturday watching junk on Bravo.

but need to complete Calculus 2 by the end of this semester to stay on track for their majors,

...isn't that what summer school is for? How on earth do they expect the other way to be effective? (And who is majoring in something that requires calculus, and thinks that after flunking calc, that'll still be a great major for them??)

Seriously...if it weren't for math, I might be a doctor right now. But I probably wouldn't be a good one, cause I flunked math.

The Calculus 1 class here is very difficult -- I can see someone failing the first time and then passing the second time and doing pretty well in an engineering major. (The engineering majors are the only ones who have this issue with the timing.) However, I cannot see someone being able to do anything in Calculus 2 after having failed Calc 1 and not retaken it yet. I'm actually surprised the university even allows them to take the classes this way.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

WindSparrow, I know you said you had CBT skills, but do you know observe and describe? I can review it if not.

It wasn't one I was familiar with, but I Googled it, and got a decent description from a site giving an overview of DBT skills.

Hil, that's bizarre. Don't prerequisites exist for a reason?
