Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
At least with the Foundation I work with, our Grant's announcement ceremony is a morning of skiing.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
I'd kill for that.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Then perhaps Wolter's time on this mortal plane has come to its logical conclusion...

Oh, come on. I'd kill Hoy or Heston first.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Reading between the lines, you don't reject the possibility of killing Wolter and winning the hearts of good people everywhere.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
I'll never understand how students process things. A student who didn't come to class for the first six weeks and missed the first two assignments altogether suddenly started showing up a few weeks ago, then turned in the most recent assignment late enough that the grade is automatically a zero. Why start doing the work now when passing the class is a near impossibility? The student would have to turn in those other assignments, getting a zero because of the lateness, and then somehow pull off A+ work the rest of the way to get a D-. Is this how the lottery industry succeeds?

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Ha! Yes, my one recurring dream is showing up for the first time on the last day of class having never done a lick of work (but my dream self always knows it's a dream, so I don't panic). It actually has some basis in truth for me, too. In my final year, I wanted a blow-off class and had never taken sociology, so registered for the intro course. The prof was a textbook lecturer, too, so as long as I read the textbook, I figured I didn't need to go to class. The thing is, I have zero memory of writing any midterm or final exam or any paper for the class. A complete zilch. My transcript says I got a B+ in it, but I don't recall a damned thing. I remember other classes from that year, but that sociology class is a total black hole in my memory. Which is why, I'm suppose, when I have that recurring dream, it's set in that soc class.JennyB wrote: ↑01 Nov 2018, 10:37amThat sounds like a recurring dream I have.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑01 Nov 2018, 9:58amI'll never understand how students process things.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
I never know it's a dream while I am in it, and it always takes place in my Denver high school, never in my New Orleans or Jortsville high schools, or college or grad school.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
I haven't had this one for a long time, but I used to have a recurring dream of falling from a plane down to a hill by my elementary school where we'd go sledding during the winter. I'd hit the ground, curl up, and roll down the hill. I was never hurt but I was freaked out when I reached the bottom.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
My sense of academic guilt would never allow me to do anything that irresponsible. What a weird student. You should fail them on principal alone.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
Next week, my class will be discussing Chairman Ralph's book.
I will be wearing The Shirt.
I have encouraged them to listen to CtC while reading.
I hope to recruit many wise men and street kids for Bernie.

Re: Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School
And most in my department would point to my course as proof of that. At the same time, I know I encourage more critical imagination, that it's about becoming a better thinker than the course content—in truth, I don't especially give a fuck about the material as somehow edifying in and of itself—so I'm not all that bugged by those views.JennyB wrote: ↑13 Nov 2018, 10:40amAnd they say academia has gone down the tubes!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Nov 2018, 12:26pmNext week, my class will be discussing Chairman Ralph's book.
