Why I love my job:

Sometimes the class is working feverishly at the not-easy portion of my final and there's that frantic scratching buzz in the air that means hard working and hand cramps and it's snowing outside and I'm correcting vocabulary:

7. What would be the most efficient/quickest way to starta a fracas right now?
by telling Strom he's a liar, Logan he's ugly, and Grace a preppy know it all.

Maybe you had to be there.

I agree with Day.

I've always avoided vocabulary quizzes. For me they are optional, and I am afraid of things I've never done. But you make me see that I've definitely-- way-- been missing the boat.

The closest I have gotten to that kind of enjoyment out of reading what my students write is when I asked what the onions in _Holes_ symbolized. Every single person wrote something profound. Purity; faith; trials; the whole shebang was delightful.

This is actually SAC, but I can't change to being logged in for myself without losing my comment, and I'm too lazy to type it in again.
