We need more Moms like this
Overheard in my Starbucks office...
To her daughter: "It really doesn't matter if you do well in school."
If more mothers were like this, teaching would be so much easier.*
*I hope your picking up the sarcasm, 'cause I'm laying it on pretty thick!

googling the day away
I had a really productive weekend that included thesis work and house cleaning, but I have been a slug all day today!
I did have a good chuckle at these comments grad students wanted to write on papers, but couldn't.
This makes me ponder what my contributions would be... I did write on a paper "3 inch margins, you have got to be kidding me," but the student didn't come to the last class so she never saw it.
I've always felt like writing, "Congratulations, I've spent more time on this paper than you did."
What are yours?

Something Clever (thesis edition)
Really there is nothing clever or interesting happening in my life... I've been hold up in Fivebucks drinking coffee and revising the 88 pages that are my thesis. I've got no students to compare my writing to, so I was a little down until I realized I've got no students!
In Fivebucks I did overhear a student from SLACK U talking about his study skills class and his b*tch professor. He wasn't my student, so I wondered which of my fellow TAs was his b*tch professor. Judging from his unrelenting desire to look like a homeless man, I'm guessing there is another side to that story.
In an unrelated note: in my efforts to procrastinate I googled writing a research paper and this image came up:
First, who is writing a research paper with a nib pen?
Second, why is there a leather strap? Maybe for shooting up? Or wrapping around your neck when the perfect synonym escapes you?
