that was a relief

Today everyone feared a very contenious biology dept meeting. Instead, everyone must have iced their hot heads down and we had a productive, if long meeting, without much in the way of hard feelings.

Also dear students, you DO NOT have to give your notes to people who don't come to class. You can say no. I know you fear being labled mean or bitchy but those people showed up for the test and did not stay for the lecture. They get what they deserve. NOTHING.

Tv Talk. Several of my flisters have talked about this in the past but I want to talk about it. The UST. It can absolutely be dragged out TOO LONG. Castle, you are getting ridiculous with this. A few other shows I watch, same deal. A show does not become inherently uninteresting if there's a committed couple on it. Psych figured that out. Look at NCIS with Gibbs and Jamie Lee Curtis's character. No UST. THey just went for it and they are one of the cutest couples going right now, IMO. It's nice to actual see a loving couple and it being the highlight of the show. There comes a point where the UST becomes annoying, unbelievable and frankly drives viewers away (and yes, Castle you're getting there)

My allergies were so miserable, I lost my voice and nearly couldn't lecture. my eyes are nearly swollen shut and I'm a miserable ball of misery. Can't it be winter? It's so bad here, whatever it is that's blooming has people who have never had allergies before whinging and saying so THIS is what people are crying about all the time? My GOD!

Also this is all kinds of crazy Newborn baby found alive in her casket after being declared dead
