And now for a real post
1. The students have asked me to be the faculty advisor for the Anime Club. I am going to decline. I feel bad for saying no, but I cannot go up to campus one day every week and watch anime with them for three hours (EVERY WEEK), and I am not going to supervise lock-ins. Um, ever. So, I'm flattered they asked me (this is what I get for talking about Dragonball Z and Inuyasha with my World Lit 1 class), but I am not prepared for that kind of time commitment.
2. This is Fiona's second week of school. We got a note sent home last week that she had hit a kid while standing in line. Why? we asked her. Because it was time to go, and he wouldn't move. Yesterday, I got a call from the school because Fiona has pinched a kid who tried to usurp her turn at the smart table. At least we don't have to worry about her having Emma's problem with being assertive. *jazz hands*
3. I got a letter from![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kayleecat. I love getting unexpected correspondence. :)
4. GoT finale on Sunday! Yay! I have to get my reviews typed up for the last two episodes before it airs. I'm guessing either the dragon somehow brings down the Wall, or the Night King has that horn from the books that migrated from Jericho. I also think the Wall coming down will be the final shot of the season. I love that the need for a third dragon rider is eliminated. I think it's a good call; I mean, Tyrion or Jaime and Cersei turning out to be Targaryens would have been stretching the bonds of credulity. I wonder if Bran can Warg into the bad dragon and bring it down that way. IDK Real reviews forthcoming.
5. Academical people who do book reviews, how do you get that process started? Do you just cold email a publisher or something? How does that work? I'd like to do some reviews, I think.

And Fiona is just a different kettle of fish than Emma. Emma is a total first born. People pleaser, stickler for rules, wants to please people in authority, responds very well to being punished just by you letting her know you're disappointed in her. Fiona doesn't even bat an eye when you raise your voice at her. She gets in trouble with us and it doesn't even seem to bother her; she does get upset when she gets in trouble at school. It's so weird. and maddening.
