Final Exams

-



While my day time students find themselves stuck with the usual final exams, my evening students--who are adult returning students--get the special treatment. Our final exams are always at a local restaraunt featuring really good margaritas.


This is the life!

I've always found that a good margarita aids the testing process. It caused a little bit of trouble with my SAT's but that's another story.

Seriously though, what a nice thing! You students must really enjoy and appreciate having you as a teacher.

When I was an undergrad, I would look at the returning students with pity. Now I am a returning student...and this is the life!

Cheers!

I think by the end of the semester both students and professor could use a nice big margarita!

Wow, and I felt lucky to get to have class outside on nice days. Margaritas? Well it seems redundant to say but looks like fun!

Sounds like my kind of exam! :)

I worked at a dental office once, where the dentist would save up the old gold from people's crowns, and use that to take the staff out for dinner and margaritas.

Wow. Margaritas + Higher Learning = Genius. Is this a Texas thing?

When you go to university in Idaho, they give you a small, boiled potato to keep you warm while you take final exams.

Embarrassing Personal Revelation #892

-
Joni Mitchell once wrote, "All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you, too." It didn't. My partner and I have separated. We tried. We really tried. I am embarrassed to admit this. I even considered erasing this blog from the internet so that I would not embarrass myself or her. But my whole purpose in blogging was to have some kind of a community where I could be open and explore my writing in a personal way. You have shared the good things with me. You have seen my ugly 5K Ass Project photos. It would feel cowardly to just disappear. Plus, I could use the support.

Excerpt from student paper today: Being politically correct is a way that we speak here in America so that we don’t offend any whining babies. Only pathetically weak people that don’t have the balls to say what they feel and mean are politically correct [idiots]. Society and the media have made it to where people are now afraid to say what they actually mean. Comedians are now the only people who actually speak the truth about society. Except now even Saturday Night Live wont put anything that is not politically correct for fear that some left wing idiot will throw a fit a make NBC apologize. At this point in her reading of this cogent argument, my boss said, "does he realize you will be reading this paper?" Oh yes. And it gets better! Today’s society has become way to obsessed with how things need to be right and to make people feel better. The correct term these days for garbage man is a sanitation engineer. No, a garbage man is no kind of engineer he has no college degree...

First comes love. . .

Then comes doing our level best to destroy the family. Susan and I sat cross-legged on our bed last night and swore our undying love for one another. No witnesses, no music, no officials; just two happy gals staring into one another's eyes. I am very happy. It's funny, wearing this ring has made me a little self-conscious; I spent the day feeling like I had a neon sign on my forehead that said, "Look at my finger!" My office mate Mark said he felt the same way after he got married. Symbols are powerful things for English majors. Now if only I could claim her on my health insurance. "We learn to love by loving."
