Connections

Gentle reader: as you realize, blogs are presented from the bottom up. With the most recent blog on top, one sometimes has to start far down the page and read upward for continuity. So it is with this blog. It will make more sense if you read the blog below before starting this one.

Today was an interesting one for me at my college. In my second class of the day, as I walked into the room, a student stood and addressed the class: “Don’t EVER fall asleep in this teacher’s class. I saw what happened when a student fell asleep in his class yesterday. It was not pretty.” Then a second student said “You need to give me some extra credit. That woman who came in late yesterday and you wouldn’t mark her present? She’s my wife. I had to listen to her talk about that ALL night last night.” Bless his heart.

In my third class, T.J. said “I wasn’t here last time. Did I miss anything?” I replied “No. The moment I found out you weren’t here I cancelled class.” There was a long pause and then T.J. said “You know, it’s true. If you ask a stupid question, you’ll get a stupid answer.” Smart boy.
