that is a strange phenomena that i have experienced as well (when the otherwise ideal student goes AWOL/ suddenly stops being an ideal student). Have you started receiving a deluge of emails asking silly questions that are an obvious ploy to get an…
I am a big proponent of extra credit opportunities, and use it as a way to stealthily support things I like. Go see a movie at a film festival? EXTRA CREDIT! Go see the new documentary about the Black Panthers? EXTRA CREDIT! (of course you need to …
officially, yes. but student in question has always shown up to class on time, participated in discussions, and otherwise been an ideal student, so I will likely cut her some slack.
email file attachment system seems to have started working at 1:38AM (2 hours 38 minutes after the deadline, but better late than never).
All but one of the finals have now arrived.
welp, that's it. email problems seem to have doomed one student, the other MIA isn't that big of a surprise, though i was hoping for 100%. Thank you for sharing this moment with me.
NOW IT'S TIME TO PREP FOR TOMORROW'S CLASS:

I feel sorry for Buffalo. it is actually a really great town with so much potential, except the weather is just god awful. 200 years ago the city made so much geographical sense- on the eastern end of the Great LAkes shipping corridor, and all tha…
yeah that shit is FUCKED. last winter Buffalo broke just about every shitty-weather record there was. it was awful. but now they are on pace to break them all again. i am so glad i am not there.
thanks y'all. that was a wild ride, can't say i look forward to ever doing that again. crowd-funding is like social media on steroids. the highs are high and the lows are low. it's a real psychological trip...
