I don't even... WHAT?

[cornerofmadness]

So I was whining about my test scores today and a coworker turned to me and said that in his class where he's trying student-centered learning (I.e. the student has to look up stuff on the topic) one of his students said 'she didn't want to do this stuff. She didn't want to THINK in class.' She's going into science education. WHAT?!? Just What the holy fuck? Thinking about joining the peace corps. Bet I can find young people without two sticks to rub together who WANT to learn. It would be better than these entitled idiots.

Throws up hands and moves on.

I'm going to have to ask for an extension. I can not get my novella done in the time alloted. I'm very embarrassed and very uncomfortable with having to do so.

Wednesday Reading Meme

What I just finished Reading The Ladies of Mandrigyn by Barbara Hambly. it's been on my shelf since 1985. Read it for the bingo prompt 'bottom of your TBR pile.' I have always loved Hambly but this one wasn't her best.

The Ghost and Mrs. McClure by Alice Kimberly. Read for the bingo prompt 'a book your friend loves' It mixes a bookstore cozy with the ghost of a hard boiled detective. Nice popcorn reading.

What I'm reading now Heart's Home by H.B. Pattskyn. A werewolf historical mystery. Been trying to finish this forever

What's Next Blind Justice by Anne Perry. Mom accidentally gave me a box of HER books when I left and wants them back in a couple weeks. I haven't read a William Monk book in probably 20 years. I did like him but i just fell out of the habit of reading them (mostly when Anne Perry started including so much melodrama with the bosses in this series and her Pitt one).

And I FINALLY did it. I know I said I decluttered my two suitcases filled with clothes and odds and ends to goodwill and I did...sort of. It's been in my computer room since like September. It's now at Goodwill and someone else will have the joy of it.

parody on why AZ’s governor vetoed the bill At least I think it's a parody. Please let it be a parody. Basically it was more likely vetoed less because of gay rights and more because like George Takei said, this was going to hit them in the wallet.


declutter day 214 item tossed -A set of shower curtain rings why kept -They were pretty why tossed -They were hooks and the curtain always fell off and I replaced them years ago. They’ve been sitting in a drawer for about 5 years
