OMG! My entire college career just flashed before my eyes. You mean, all those papers….. And we thought we were so damn smart. Heh.

It would’ve saved me lots of time had I not had to write those damn essays anyway. Maybe I could’ve just put down something along the lines of, “I paid attention to most your lectures, and could probably explain it well enough for a B-”.

I need to say that all of the really mean things written here came from me (all tongue in cheek, of course–and completely exaggerated, certainly); all of the less-mean things came from Literanie, who is much nicer than I am… For the record.

Comment: “Having said all of that, I really enjoyed reading this.”
Translation: When everything is said and done, I still love my job and my students (well, 98% of them) and couldn’t imagine doing anything else with my life…

(Btw, Scotty, your comment is spot-on, as you well know…)
