Nice tits, Michelangelo

I love love love teaching. My students sometimes drive me to drink, but I love the reactions and discussions. Today I am subbing for my friend’s class, as well as teaching my own, creating a day that starts at 8am and ends around 9:30…with loads o’ driving in between.
However, I’m totally cool with […]

I’m Looking

But I can’t seem to find the entries I wrote for this in my computer. Must be in Mike’s desktop and was written before the laptop. However, THIS is what I’m in:

No Joke

If you’re going to email me stating “I’ll do **ANYTHING** to get a higher mark on the exam”, at least have the courtesy of sending a full-length photo of yourself so I can appropriately contemplate the merits of the request.

Dammit

I am most likely going to lose a course, and the experience and pay that comes with it. It needs one more student to enroll.
Anyone interested in Modern and Contemporary art?
Damn, damn, damn. This is the adjunct’s life. Waiting all the time to see what your income and schedule will […]

What grade do I need to get on the final to get a ___ in your class?

Not my favorite part of the job

Sometimes, the most dedicated student messes up. I know that. The problem is, it just doesn’t necessarily change anything on the teacher’s end of things.

Holies Molies
