I don't know why we thought we were going to get 10,000 trick-or-treaters, but we apparantly did, because we bought enough candy to satiate them. You know how many trick-or-treaters we actually got? Four. Yes, four. No - not four groups of trick-or-treaters, four kids. In one group. Fantastic. So now we just have this giant bowl of candy on our dining room table that seems like an appropriate source of nutrition for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, and all snacks in between. I can't wait until it's gone. Until it is, however, I will continue to be dominated by the ever-hungry voice in my head that demands I unwrap another fun size chocolate treat. Curse you, Halloween!! In other news, my students hate me. Well, not all of my students, but a lot of them. Most of that sinister first class, at least. It's because they are a group of seriously sucky writers and they can't deal with the fact that if their paper deserved a D, I give it a D. I acutally got an email from a junior English major who said that up until now, she's gotten nothing lower than a B on every paper. I was FLOORED. Her writing is atrocious!!! English profs are softies when it comes to grading. Heck, I can be a softie too ... I didn't even fail anyone this time. Whatever. AND THEN ... get this ... wait, I'll just turn this into a mini-play because that's easier than typing it out. Names have been changed to protect the google-hungry idiotic: SCENE: Sucky First Class DON: Genevieve, who is that one TA in lecture class - you know, the blonde one? DON: Why does she always look so angry all of the time? ME: Well, that's because she pays very close attention to who comes in and goes out of lecture. If I saw how many students were walking in late or leaving after 10 minutes, I'd be pissed too. DON: Oh man, you mean she pays attention to that? ME: Yes. (general uproar among students) KATY: Does it say anywhere on the syllabus that we have to go to lecture? LIZ: No! All it says is that an attendance sheet will be passed around occasionally. And they pass it around every day!! KATY: Yeah! ME: Every day is a new occasion. PAUL: So you're telling me that she notices who walks out after signing the sheet? ME: Yes. PAUL: Ugh!! But sometimes I have to leave! I just can't take it in there anymore!!! ME: That's ridiculously rude. If you don't want to go, don't go. But don't walk out in the middle. Do you know how long it takes to prepare a lecture?? I'm doing the one on Monday and it's taking forever. PAUL: Wait a minute, she doesn't write her own lectures?? ME: Of course she does. She writes all the ones she does. I'm doing the one on Monday, therefore I'm writing that one. Where did you even get that idea? PAUL: I dunno. -FIN- Yeah, it went on longer than that, but you get the gist. They're imbeciles. And they're lazy. Whatever. The class right after them are so unbelievably awesome that it just about makes up for it. Ok, I have to pee right now. Have an excellent day!!! PS - Can Michelle Branch and Santana ever record another song without one another? PPS - My husband is the best guy ever! |
