I don't understand my students. For my online classes, each week, there are a few videos to watch, a couple of quick questions to answer in between the videos, a longer homework assignment, and a quiz where they have to explain their reasoning. I generally get about half the material posted by Monday, and the other half posted by Wednesday, and all of it due the following Tuesday. This week, I screwed things up, and I'm posting the material later than usual, so I'm making it due next Thursday, rather than next Tuesday as usual. Several students have complained to me that this is messing up their schedule, because they always watch all the videos and do all the work on Tuesday, and they'll have to rearrange things if it's due on Thursday. I'm confused. It's still entirely possible to do the work on Tuesday even if it's not due until Thursday. I changed the due date because I was worried about students who usually do the work much earlier than it's due -- students who do it the day that it's due should be fine.

I have a Riverdale question that is spoilery do I just ask here?

Just white-font it, askye.

And I am CRACKING UP at tonight's Riverdale, because I kept saying -- AS A JOKE -- "I think Jughead is homeless! And why haven't we seen his parents, when we've seen all the other teens' parents?" But I was KIDDING. Well DAMN, show.

Steph, I know! They're getting so many points for how often my jaw drops open.

And Betty's mom is totally bonkers. Although, honestly, I think Betty isn't playing with a full deck, either.

Oh, don't say that, I'm weirdly in love with Betty!

"I don't think there's ever been a president elected who in this short period of time has done what we've done," Trump said.

True, but not the way I think he means. Almost nothing is being accomplished at all and I far as I can tell no agenda is being set with congress. The whole debt ceiling thing is coming up before long, the WH and congress their to get their asses in gear.

Steph --

I was thinking for some reason Jughead had been rich and his family lost money but then I realized that I had mixed up a fanfic with canon. I'd read recaps of the first two episodes of Riverdale before I saw the episodes so there are some bits I remember as the text I read and some as the show.

Having just come home from what was essentially a two-hour bitch-fest with a fellow college faculty member, I can only nod with a bitter and knowing expression toward Hil.

Omnis! So good to see your pixels in Beep Me!
