you know those studies showing that cursing helps with pain tolerance or whatever. that’s how i feel about making my weird little noises to get through my basic daily activities. sometimes you just have to go hggblaaaah for a minute so you can find the strength within yourself to get up or wash the dishes or send an email. mmmnneh. urgh. the torments are unending but you can always make some little sounds about it.

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

Ain’t nobody got time for this, Mary Magdalene

Reporting that he plans to shower at the gym due to the bathtub being left “absolutely disgusting,” local man Michael DiCanio expressed annoyance Thursday that his wife had inconsiderately left the apartment’s only bathroom a total mess after giving birth to their first child. “Jesus Christ, there’s afterbirth everywhere! I never had this problem when I lived with a guy,” said DiCanio, frustrated that he would now be late for work just because his wife didn’t have the common courtesy not to leave the drain clogged with her placenta.

A professor gave us an extra credit option: take a picture of yourself outside, doing something that you would not usually do. We were told not to take it too seriously. Here is my entry:

I maintain that sticking my head in the mailbox is not something I do on a regular basis.

[chaotic-archaeologist]

Love that some of you are reblogging this. You looked at a picture of a guy with his head in a mailbox and went "yeah"

[chaotic-archaeologist]

Can't wait to see if everyone did something like this or if they had a normal reaction. I will keep you posted.

Hello to everyone asking for an update!

The professor has said that he will put all submitted pictures into a powerpoint to be shown in class tomorrow (Tuesday, March 9th). I am very much looking forward to seeing the reaction from him and from the rest of the class. I promise to keep you informed.

[chaotic-archaeologist]

Update: the professor saved my picture for last. I was told that I had "truly embodied the spirit of the assignment" and that I had gone "above and beyond."

Also, to everyone who is worrying about whether or not I got my head out, I was gifted with a very small head, and while I got out just fine I would NOT recommend this if you have a large head or even a normal sized head.

Now that I'm an instructor and the weather is getting nicer, I am proud to say that I have implemented this in my own class. I'm looking forward to seeing what they come up with!*

*No I cannot share their submissions online. There's this thing called FERPA.

[grandfather-paradoxx]

But can you describe some of the submissions?

* I don’t know what FERPA is. Also, how did you get your words tiny like that?

[chaotic-archaeologist]

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that protects the privacy of student education records.

If you're making a post on desktop, you can make your text tiny by highlighting it and selecting the <s> button.

[chaotic-archaeologist]

Okay Everybody

I can't post my students' work, but I can share any submissions you send to me. As of this moment, the Unusual Outdoors Extra Credit assignment is now open! Guidelines are as follows:

Take a picture of yourself outside doing something unusual. This includes creative and novel activities that are appropriate for the public and do not break any laws.*

No photos you've already taken. You must come up with something new.

I will respond to entries in my inbox or submissions. I cannot guarantee responses to anything reblogged from this post.

Be creative. Have fun.

Extra credit will be given in the form of good vibes and bad puns.

*Please, for the love of god, do not do anything illegal.
