I could just cry. I screwed up on the evolution test I just gave this week. I had a true false question that read Darwin's Origins of the Species was published in 1830 and THEN put a fill in the blank that asked who wrote the Origins of the Species. AND I had a multiple choice question listing out 4 causes of extinction then asked an essay question 'please list 3 causes of extinction with examples' and people missed BOTH answers where they were required to write. In fact over 50% missed the Darwin questions. Can I cry?

At least Nano is going okay. I came up with a tenative title for my werewolf story (let me say this, I blow at titles) Splinters of Silver and Cold Iron. Well at least it's something to call it until inspiration strikes.

Wait a mo': YOU screwed up? My dear, you GAVE them the answers and they blew it!

Hugs you and passes some hot chocolate and chocolate chip cookies....

How can they miss the Darwin questions????? Sheesh.

Btw, the word meter - do you have to update it yourself each time at the site?

You can cry it you want, dear... But I think your students should be crying if they missed the fact you gave away the answers! *hugs*

Glad NaNo's going all right at least. And don't sweat your title sucking. Mine is "Fox" and I'm writing about a bloody Kitsune. You can't really get much more unoriginal.

Are you posting at all at the NaNo forums? I've been poking around there a lot while I'm pretending to write. I'd like to know who you are if you are posting.

Exactly I MEANT for it to be a gimme 2 points. I could cry

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I was about to post that request, Nanonames. I'm Docdana. And yes I do waste time in the forums.

Mine's about faires and werewolves so cold iron and silver....

and yes I think I will cry

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes you do have both at Nano and here if you want to update it.

And I have no idea how they're so dumb

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Well i didn't mean to do it. I'm pretending it was so they'd have gimme answers. They're just not bright enough to know it. Sob

and thanks. Teaching isn't for the faint of heart, is it?

I like the "splinters" title.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

really? Well cool

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I plan on pointing it out in ...oh a half hour

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

"Splinters" is very cool.

I don't like the title for my story but it can just wait 'til something better comes along.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

what is yours

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Right now, I'm calling it "Wolf and Flame" but it doesn't suit much anymore.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

they just looked at me with blank cow eyes. It was awful

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

pretty much, yes
