It's nesting! I've heard people start a few months into pregnancy, then it wanes and returns RIGHT before it's Showtime. I've known of women whose husbands found them on top of the counters, cleaning the insides of their bathroom cabinets--when they're full-term. Please don't do that.<br /><br />As for the students? I want to scream when I hear about those kids because...HI. I was your student once. I managed it just fine and earned an A (because I know you and no one ever just "gets" A's in your classes) and asked if we could be friends as my Special Question on my final. I cannot stand students who act the way those three did and you should give them 500 points off for being stupid. You're still awesome for being an understanding professor to the two less-stupid students. I would not be so understanding, but that's why you rock and I do not rock quite so hard.<br /><br />p.s. If you'd like fall weather, come visit (because I know you totally have time to drop everything and visit CT)! Enjoy the warmth, however. I've got to say: these 37 degree morning walks with the dog are a little chilly!<br /><br />p.p.s. I miss you. Sorry for this long comment. I probably should've emailed you instead. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289359003002998269.post-22532003907329575622010-10-15T08:31:08.726-04:002010-10-15T08:31:08.726-04:00thanks, tricia. you're so kind! with a schedu...thanks, tricia. you're so kind! with a schedule like yours, i think you just have to do the best you can do, and that looks totally different depending on your circumstances. in my opinion, an a is far from the only measure of success. sometimes, it's the surviving and thriving that's the truest sense of success. as for making my hectic schedule manageable, i think it's all smoke and mirrors half the time because my house is a wreck and i don't cook good food enough, but believe me when i tell you that if i had the luxury of cancelling classes (i really don't, as part of my contract), i would be in DEEP TROUBLE. some days it's just hard to get out of bed and face the day.<br /><br />thanks for reading. it's nice to know that something i say has some sort of impact on anyone. and thanks for being willing to say something kind--it matters, it really does.teachergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08031859408698577418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289359003002998269.post-46234343506769027682010-10-14T21:28:23.115-04:002010-10-14T21:28:23.115-04:00First and foremost, I enjoy your blog a lot.

I have no idea who you are, but find it comforting to know that decent people exist in this world. <br />Secondly, though, I feel sorry for you three no-shows. As I have had so much on my plate lately. (Full course load-five, actually, by semesters end and a full time job-between 32 and 48 hours a week) It seems I don't have enough time in the day. My grades are taking a bit of a toll. I probably won't make a single A this semester. Reading your blog sort of makes me feel like a bit of an underachiever, though. You make an incredibly hectic schedule manageable. Maybe I just need better time mangangement? <br />Anyway, again, thank you for writing and for being a good person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
