My students made me happy today.
They're funny kids. They are clever and talkative and even if they don't give a damn about English or writing a research paper, they still show up. They may want to be anywhere else, but they are here, with me. And showing up is half the battle.
Thank you, sections 525 and 485, for showing up today. You make me proud and you make me feel like we're not just strangers spending three hours a week together.
A good teaching day. Except, for some odd reason, I had two guys in two different sections insist the moon landing did not happen and want to use this as their topic for their research paper. What is the deal with that?
Crazy kids these days.

Hey, girl. I had one student want to use that as his topic as well. Odd.
I, too, had a good teaching day, even though I regret reading my own 101 research paper to the classes now. 11 pages of well researched argument is not terribly exciting to read nor to listen to, and my throat feels like it is lined with sandpaper from all the talking. I think I need a drink. (Wink wink)
Have a good weekend!
