The Yankee came to campus today. I’d planned to give an extra credit quiz in my writing and editing class and she asked if she could do it. I’ve been telling my students how strict a teacher she was and today introduced them to Dr. Smith. <\/p>\n

She picked out a bunch of spelling words from their list. The first three were easy, “See, I’m not so bad” and then she started giving them much more challenging words. <\/p>\n

At the end of it all they decided they liked her quizzes more than mine. <\/p>\n

That’s only because they know who’s grading them. <\/p>\n

Speaking of the JMC department<\/a>, check out the new promotional video:<\/p>\n

I didn’t have anything to do with making that — the office of communication<\/a> created that — so I can safely brag about it. Looks slick.<\/p>\n

We visited<\/strong> Surin West for Thai tonight, which we haven’t been able to do in quite some time. It was a cold night and a big helping of chicken noodle bowl would have been wonderful, but that is only a lunch item. They will not make it in the evening for some reason. I’m guessing it has something to do with how they have to age the sprouts.<\/p>\n

So I found a new dish: the pad woon sen. Sometimes you just have to grin, cringe and go with what the helpful waiter suggests. He did not disappoint tonight. <\/p>\n

Tonight, the students are working on their last paper of the semester. I am grading. Always, always grading. Started this morning grading press releases. I’ll end the day grading broadcast scripts. <\/p>\n

At least the stacks of papers are growing more manageable.<\/p>\n

Just for fun<\/strong>, ABC 33\/40’s Brenda Ladun<\/a>, who is all kinds of awesome, struggled through this little story the other night:<\/p>\n
