Bullshit

An exchange with a former student yesterday about failing to take care of his incomplete, started my day on a less than enthusiastic note. Literally, the moment I stepped foot on campus, he pops out of nowhere to talk about this nonsense.

Student: Hey! Did you get my email?

Me: No. Did you get mine? (I smell bullshit)

Student: Yeah, I did. Huh? You didn't get mine? I sent it a couple of days ago with my paper. I think there might be something wrong with my workplace's computer.

Me: Is that so? (Yep, it's fresh bullshit)

Student: Yeah, I should talk to the tech guy about it.

Me: Yeah, you should. You should just use your CCA email account. It never fails. (My turn to bullshit)

Student: Oh. OK. Soooo ...

Me: Yeah? (More?)

Student: So I should send it again?

Me: Yes, if you don't want your incomplete to be changed into a failing grade.

Student: Oh. OK.

Me: As soon as your email account is fixed, forward your original email from your SENT folder that has the time/date stamp. (Here, young lad, have some of my bullshit)

Student: (puzzled look) You mean, the time/date stamp on my paper?

Me: No, I mean there's a backup of every email that you send in a folder called "SENT" or "SENT MAIL." Go there and you'll find your original email with your paper. It has a time/date stamp confirming when you sent it. It's a default setting and it's there for instances like this when something unexpected happens. It's a good thing too in your case otherwise you'd be in trouble. (Smile at my bullshit)

Student: (visibly stunned) Oh. OK.

Me: OK, I got to get ready for class. But get that to me ASAP. And good to see you again. (I love bullshit)

Autumn leaves photographed at night during winter (?).

Time to clean the house, catch up on personal correspondences, maybe go grocery shopping.

On the First Day

A former student of mine, who is now in grad school, will be teaching a class for the first time on her own. Understandably, she was nervous. So she asked mewhat I did to mentally prepare for the first day. I told her I played songs in my head to calm my nerves and get focused.

"So what song do you play?" she asked.

"The Imperial March from The Empire Strikes Back."

"OMG! You're such a dork!" she laughed.

"It's been a top favorite lately and it works for me."

To all the teachers and professors, good luck on the start of a new semester! :D

Project 365

My Project 365, a picture a day for the next 365 days, begins today 01/01/2010, with this picture of one of my reading stacks. For more information on why I'm doing this and what this project is about, check out the 365Project at http://365project.org/.

My basic guidelines are these:
1) just one picture a day using any camera.
2) limited photoediting (cropping, color balance, etc.).

That's it! Let's see if I can do this.

My Project 365 will be archived both on both of my Flickr and Zooomr.
