This has been a boring first round.
But it has had an impressive number of botched calls and blown ninth-inning leads.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
it's only boring because of you
quit boring everyone!

how can you say that?
these games have been awesome. esp. when papelbutt blew it and when franklin blew it.
Hence my second sentence...
but I don’t hate any teams enough to think that all the sweeps have been interesting.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
god damn. my first october in ny during playoffs (with friends). insufferable. if only they never picked up hinske.
ooh just broke my mobile commenting?cherry. and like any virgin, i have no idea how to do it.
Dusty Baker said it was the first [triple play] he’d seen in person. When he was with the Dodgers, they hit into one, but he was in the bathroom.- C Trent

Pretty boring game
I can’t believe it’s only the 3rd inning. Feels like it’s been going on forever.

Wrong!

that's a movie i someday look forward to watching on blu ray
not because I don’t think it is theater worthy, but because I never get to go to the movies.
It has woody harrelson killing zombies, I don’t know how it couldn’t be the greatest movie of all time
Made from 100% Recycled Awesome,
What if it was the whole cast of Cheers killing zombies?
That way Coach could be in it too!

it would be sad when sam had to make the decision to kill coach
and of course he’d have to kill diane, because that bitch is annoying!

have you been watching bored to death?
I’m really enjoying it so far

Going through the ol' CD collection
Every single song on “Welcome To Michigan: The Great Lake State” by Sufjan Stevens sounds THE EXACT SAME. GAH.
why is that
in your CD collection?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Oh, it starts off well enough
But after 70 minutes of subdued plinking piano, hushed choruses, some banjos, atmospherics that aren’t quite as beatific as they aspire to be, it gets a little much. When the best thing you’ve got going are your song titles, that’s a problem.

Students, please don't send your instructors e-mails like this:
Hello this is **** ******* a student of your eco **** class i am sending you a email in regards of my grade in your class. My grade on aplia is very low and its nobody fault but mine . When i do the work that is required to do excel in it and even in class i answer questions and get them right. My problem is that i was not doing the assigned work on time or not doing t at all. I understand everything thats going on in the class i just want t know is there anyway i can bring my aplia grade up to at least have a passing grade at the end of the course. I am willing to do anything, but if there is no way to change this i understand. i was thinking i could set up a appointment to sit down and talk to you about this.Please email me back if you have time to and thanks.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
yeah
If she looks like a supermodel, does that make a difference?
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
i've seen worse
at least the student is taking responsibility. Maybe the student has been battling personal issues such as depression or anxiety problems, and now that this person have overcome their problems, this student has realized “Oh shit the world was still going on while i couldn’t get out of bed for two weeks.”
Or the student is just lazy.

You're clearly doing your job!
The thing that pisses me off the most is that I have told them at least a dozen times that I don’t give a shit what their reasons are for missing class, or missing an exam, or not doing their homework.
I don’t take attendance, I drop the lowest midterm grade, and I drop several of the lowest homework grades. And yet they insist on giving me excuses anyway.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
they are paying for it
it is there loss

i dont drop any grades
and i take attendance. it’s only a 6-week class, so i kinda have to. but i do give full credit for just turning in a rough draft. i wouldnt do it normally, but i didnt write course.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Oct 12, 2009 11:02 PM EDT up reply actions
I would take attendance
because the students that don’t show up end up failing, but there are 60 in the class so it’s pretty infeasible.
Dropping grades just means I don’t have to hear 90% of the whining about why they missed the exam/didn’t turn in the HW (plus they can recover from a crappy midterm grade). The remaining portion is still pretty annoying, though.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
yeah my classes are 15 max
it’s pr’ nice.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Oct 12, 2009 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't mind 60 too much...
it’s basically the upper end of where I can actually get them to work on things in pairs or small groups and present to the class.
I haven’t bothered to learn any of their names this semester, though.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
group work?
ugh. never in a million years. how do deal with all the “i did more work than (s)he did!!” whining??
by Charlie Scrabbles on Oct 12, 2009 11:10 PM EDT up reply actions
Oh, definitely not for a grade.
I have them work things out in class, since they don’t believe me when I tell them they have to attempt these things to understand them at all.
Let me write out a formal proof for you.
if i were teaching a college course
i would take attendance if it were feasible, so when a student is bitching about their grade I can say well you showed up to class 37% of the time.
Some students are a freak like my fiance, she didn’t have a grade lower than an A- or a B+ (I can’t remember which), and she usually skipped at least 3 classes a week, some classes she wouldn’t show up for weeks at a time.

This is not much of an endorsement for a Pittsburgh education

she is insanely smart
and pitt is one of the national universities in the country. Plus she put in a lot of work outside of class, she did all the readings, studied, etc.

But Madville is convinced I look like Elliott Gould.

Gray does look so Professorial
But, Gray fuck those kids. Bunch of self absorbed douche bags who really only care about getting a decent passing grade, drinking a lot, partying a lot, fucking each other’s GFs/BFs and what kind of salary they’re going get cause they graduated from college. Fuck ’em now, so they get used to it.
Jay Bruce will become a major league baseball STAR, starting in April, 2010.....
i agree
last year i was taking an intro-poli sci class, me, another graduating senior (they only offer one section a quarter and do to scheduling conflicts I could not take it until my senior year), and the rest of the class was undergraduates. Before class when i was talking to my fellow senior (who is now also in grad school working on an MA in history) about history and politics, everyone around me was talking about how drunk they got or what party they went to or want to go to.
I went to parties as an undergrad, and I drank as an undergrad, but I was there to be a student first. It seemed that so many of my class mates were their simply to party, and they had to take classes as a part of that deal. In some ways undergraduates are like high school students who don’t have a curfew and don’t live with their parents…
