Unexpected and it made me smile

[cornerofmadness]

I was approached by a student today and he picked me as his professor for the student athlete/faculty appreciation night. He said he loved my teaching and my help made him switch into aiming for physical therapy instead of coaching. I'll be honored with the rest of the chosen ones next tuesday (sadly at a basketball game but I will survive). I'm really honored. It's the first time a student really went out there to acknowledge my impact on their studies in front of the school. I'm very happy.

Also unexpected, all three of the books I put on hold at the library came in today. Thanks...kinda. You couldn't come in one at a time? The last time I put a Brandon Sanderson on hold it took 6 weeks. Sigh. I better read fast AND one of the ones I won from goodreads also got here today.

Also in the made smile category, S2 of Agent Carter is even better than the first. While I'm not quite as fond of Wilkes as the rest of my friends he is interesting.

I see what you did there Carter with Heddy Lamar (and if you didn't get the actress slash scientific research genius seriously go look up poor Heddy who never got her due until recently)

I was not impressed at Peggy not shooting the bad guy. Mostly because we keep portraying a character as a marksman/combat badass etc and then they fail miserably with an easy shot because the villain needs to get away but really if that's my only quibble.

And the crazy thought: Howard Stark obviously likes Peggy. Could you imagine Steve's reaction if he learned Tony Stark's mom was his Peggy?

What a great thing! I think students who do things like that really mean it, and that means more than any other kind of evaluation of what you do. So clearly all your hard work is really valuable to them.

Thanks. It really took me by surprise and I'm very happy to know there are some who value what I have to say.
