isthisnormal kendera is this, huh? i handed a paper in four days late. late penalty = 15% of the paper per day. i handed the paper in to the professor's T.A. She graded the paper. i get the paper back last night. i flip to the back, i see my mark and the 60 percentage points the T.A. deducted off my mark, of course. and I also see that the professor, well, he has scribbled out the T.A's markings and wrote over them with red pen, "100%". he offered me a ride home a week back. i live in canada, university is tough here, i think..... so what the ? please explain..... 010328 ... nocturnal I say, don't ask questions. If you absolutely must, please wait till the end of the semester, for all of us who wish something like that would happen to us. Get what you can out of this wonderful, though possibly very wrong, situation. Then again, I have no morals, so take or leave my advice as you see fit. But just know that I am incredibly jealous of you.` 010328 ... chanaka what nocturnal said. if a prof has the hots for you, it is up to you to take advantage of that (within reason, of course). you are multi-talented and can do that, if you REALLY want to. i'm jealous....why can't my prof have the hots for me? what's your secret? 010328 ... unhinged i where low cut shirts on the days that we are graded by our graduate assitant in music theory class and i get a's everytime. it's not my fault i have boobs. i'll use them if i can. 010328 ... dB damn. Wish I had boobs. But then again I wouldn't be able to leave them alone, so maybe it's a good thing. 010328 ... ghetto bird work it, girl 010329 ... narrowminded ool oh no. i dont think that using your body to get grades is a good idea... that's not what kendra was necessarily saying, but come on. let's use our BRAINS, not our boobs! (or any other body part!) don't encourage perversion even if it is to your own advantage, please, respect yourself enough not to. 010503 ... narrowmindedfool oh, hang it all. i was supossed to be named "narrow minded fool." sheesh. 010503 ... spoons I stayed up till 4:00 in the morning writing my bio paper. I called my mom to rub it in hoping she would let me stay home. but she was like no oh my god if you dont go to school you wont be an honor student anymore!!! she got home from work at 7:30 this morning and i was ready for school but then she wouldnt let me go to school... 010504 ... unhinged oh please...my brains and/or my boobs are worth $40,000 so i'll use which ever one brings in the money 010504 ... epitome of incomprehensibility This showed up in my three_words just as a spindly-legged, winged creature landed on the handle of my mug - a bug that looks like a daddy longlegs, but it's not a spider. It flies and has six legs. "Normal" is what we call what we're used to, maybe. The last thing here made me laugh, but I don't know if I can trust either thing. I finished the sudoku puzzle in the paper this morning, which prompted a cynical comment to my dad: "You know the benefits of doing sudoku for your brain? ...You get better at doing sudoku. Like, this is not a skill applicable to anything else." 250925 ... nr was it a crane fly? i found one in my apartment just a couple of hours ago. i learned the name of those things a few years ago after they kept finding themselves here. sometimes they’re called mosquito hawks; that’s a cooler name. i don’t know if they’re normal, but they’re pretty prevalent given their very short lifespan. 250925 ... hmm given? or considering? 250925 ... raze i'm a day late, but i saw something today i can only refer to as a zebra moth. which i'm sure isn't the actual name of the thing at all. i'd never seen anything like it, though. it sat stock-still in the grass until charlene sniffed it out of curiosity. then it walked around some. i may not be able to read nature's_mind, but i do enjoy the pictures she shows me. most of the time. 250926 ... e_o_i It might have been a crane fly! I just looked up its picture. It was half the length of my finger. I don't think I've seen this sort of insect before. Maybe they were here for years and I hadn't noticed them. Maybe it's a matter of warmer-weather species going further north because of global warming. (So maybe the habitat is the notquitenormal part here.) But it is a harmless, vaguely elegant creature. 251003 ... e_o_i ...also, to modify my comment last week: sudoku makes me better at ken ken puzzles. The one like a smaller sudoku with bits of math. 251003 what's it to you? who go blather from
