Updatey updates
How in the hell does time fly by so quickly?
Here's the update:
Here's the update:
- I do not have TB. Huge scare on campus as a student tested positive and has been hospitalized for weeks. Unfortunately, I found out around 10:30pm this past Tuesday that the student was mine. Not just mine, but a student I worked closely with. Got tested, I'm negatory. Will have to be tested in three months for the "all clear."
- Finished the semester. Yay, me! Only had a few issues with student grades. A graduating senior threw a fit because he said he couldn't graduate with a D. He wanted a C. He didn't earn a C so he was really pissed. Said I gave him a D to spite him. I have never spited a student. Nor have I ever given a grade. He still graduated yesterday. Another student had attendance problems, missing work, and several poor marks. Why the shock when a D for one course and an F for another were assigned?
- Found out that I was bumped up to full-time status back in March. Guess who qualifies for insurance? And, guess who makes tons more money? Oh, and guess who gets to teach courses other than Freshman Comp?
- Since I have been here, I have only taught one semester of a freshman level writing course. The rest have been upper-division literature and writing courses. My schedule for the fall and next spring, yes, I got my schedule more than a week in advance (academics know exactly what I am talking about) is filled withe upper-divisions. Oh, what a glorious job I have.
- I have the rest of the month off!
- Two-year-old is a non-conformist and his preschool refers to him as Damien. I know this purely by accident and because the director of the school left me a voice mail telling me that little Damien's pictures were in. I mentioned it to her in a later conversation and all the life drained out of that woman. Clearly, it was a slip of the tongue on her part that she so regretted.
