and now the doing nothing may commence
Apr. 30th, 2021 09:09 am1. Josh's sister is in the hospital; she had surgery for appendicitis yesterday. Supposedly there's no genetic component to appendicitis, but I call shenanigans; everyone in Josh's immediate family and some of his extended family have had their appendixes removed. She's doing well.
2. Emma had her second vaccination a week ago with no adverse effects except being tired. One more week, and we are having our fully vaccinated friends over for dinner!
3. I am done for the semester. Everything is graded, grades are turned in, and all the various administrative paperwork bullshit submitted. Yay!
4. It looks like I am not going to teach this summer; my class only has four students in it, and I don't think they'll let it run with that few. I hope I pick up a few more students. I can't remember if I taught the summer Fiona was born; I think I didn't. So that and this summer will be the only semesters in 13 years that I haven't taught if this class doesn't make.
5. Y'all, I had a kid plagiarize three motherfucking times in my class this semester. THREE TIMES! The times I have had the same student plagiarize twice in the same class are so vanishingly small that I can't even remember it happening. Three times is out of this world. He never admitted that he did anything wrong, either; he tried to blame it on me having a personal problem with him or that I'm prejudiced. Oh, yes, when I pointed out that you wrote your lit response (no research, 500 words, teensy analysis of assigned reading--so extremely low stakes and minimal effort assignment) on a text that we didn't read and that isn't in your textbook or when I pointed out that Turnitin had highlighted a bunch of text you copied from a website, that was surely evidence of me being out to get you. *headdesk* I am so glad to be seeing the back of this class.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Very cute. The kiddo's favorite humor right now is the pun, so these books go over very well.
Amelia Bedelia names her dog Finally. :)
