So, apparently there is an app called fizz for college campuses??…one of my students took this photo today in class and posted it anonymously. I didn’t give consent, so I am a little angry. I would be more angry if the caption wasn’t kind of funny. Thanks to the student who sent this to me, you snitch.

I spent like a hour after class talking to my TA after class and bonding over our mutual love for narrative games, particularly dragon age and mass effect and I told her how I dumped Kaidan and dated Garrus and she said “ah yes, the Kaidan to Garrus pipeline.”

I love all of my students (college freshman), but I don’t understand how everything is somehow my fault. Here are some instances of me being blamed for things...

A student asked me why he had earned a zero for a quiz “despite never taking it.”

Another student was mad at me for giving her a zero for not doing the readings due to being unable to connect to the university wifi because she forgot her password. 

One student was unable to do the 300 word introductory assignment because they “had writer’s block.” They do not feel as if they deserve a zero. It was due seven weeks ago. 

To be continued...

These days talking on the phone is too much. I believe the pandemic is activated my introverted side to the max.

My boss offered me an office with a window...awesome...but I would have to share with another person. Nooooope. I'll keep my sarcophagus like office.

When you do yourself a solid and cover all of this week's topics in last week's lecture cause you disagree with the order partner University uses so don't have to record another lecture.

If I can grade five papers I can grade ten, if I can grade ten I can grade five more and five in the morning. I really want to sleep tonight. Please baby Jesus show me the way. And make sure we don’t get a moron wannabe nazi for a president again. Amen.

When I was a student: I have to turn my work in early or my professor will be personally and deeply disappointed with me and I’ll look like an unforgivable slacker of a student who doesn’t care about my grade!!!

Now that I am a professor: Please stop turning things in early, students. When there are ungraded assignments, my unclear “to do” list haunts me and I can know no peace.
