wow...

i swear i didn't forget about my blog. i've just been so busy, i can barely breathe... and it sucks! but, no worries... there is light at the end of the tunnel!

in the meantime, a new post... one thing i've become extremely aware of these days, is how completely clueless some people are... clueless to the world... allowing completely retarded things to come out of their mouth. A few examples from my students:

A student... a senior... asked me the other day why "artistic" had so many meanings. "What do you mean?" I asked. "You know, as in artsy and like those kids who have problems."

While discussing a line from poetry, which read "though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass..." A student asks, "Ms. D, isn't that a sweetener?"

While debating in a student congress, a bill to build a border wall between the US and Mexico, a student makes the comment, "like the Jews."


SERIOUSLY?!?!? Remind me again why I have this job??
