As I fly through...make that slog through week 11 of my 12 week quarter, I grade research papers and portfolios 24/7 and am fueled by way too much coffee and not enough sleep. Thinking about what has made this a memorable quarter today, several funny blips popped to mind. Here are some noteworthy tidbits that assaulted my eyeballs this week:
- I know it's getting nice out, but bikini tops on campus? You are 1/2 way to the shore, just keep driving south and you'll fit right in dear hearts.
- I know we want to listen to music with our windows open, but if I can turn down "No Sleep till Brooklyn" as I enter the faculty lot, you can certainly lower your radio because nobody cares if you like salt all around that rim rim rim rim
- Props to all those who want to finish last minute assignments...no really, typing 10 assignments in one day is a good idea.
- Benefits of not sleeping in class: not having to ask each student what we are doing when you wake up, and actually knowing that we have 1 more day not 2 more weeks...unbelievable.
- It may not be advisable to shout about your ex-boyfriend in a classroom located next to the faculty offices, especially if you are mentioning guns, pills, or how he cut off his ankle monitoring device "up in that bitch last night"
- When asking how many days you have been absent, note whether or not you are responded to with your NAME in the sentence. Hint: if not, you may have missed too much.
- When watching YouTube in class, receiving IMs and/or playing any game that has a shooting component: TURN YOUR SPEAKERS OFF
While there are many things that take place during the last cherished weeks, these were just a few I thought would bring a laugh to the lips of those who get where I am coming from: The Other Side of the Desk. If anything above seemed sarcastic, good it was meant to. If anything was confusing, maybe it's not your time to be in school. Teachers and learners alike have a lovely rest of the week!
