    Oghulk, no matter what you say or do calculus will persist.

    It is the unkillable foe.

    It's so funny how the end of the grading period comes around every 6 or so weeks

    and this always happens every single time without fail

    Have you spoken to a member of the administration about it?

    No, but I don't see the point in it. They wouldn't do anything about it, and it's not like they can make her grade faster.

    She's a super nice lady, and I used to think she was just slow, but at this point I think she just holds off grading the calculus class tests cause seriously, this happens almost everytime where we don't get our tests back until the day grading ends.

    And also, its not like the class itself can really be any judgement on how I'll do on the AP Exam in a few weeks

    like, at all

    I hate how the math courses are taught at my school. They're almost always taught by inane teachers

    You could tell the administration that by her not releasing the grades on tests & such that you, as a student, are unable to gauge your talent/skill in the class.

    And as much as it may seem like a minor thing, it is a huge fucking problem in education if you don't know your own success.

    The grades themselves are inflated and aren't anywhere near in difficulty to whats appeared on the AP Exam review materials she's given us in the past little while.

    Of course we're also still learning new material for an exam that we're supposed to be ready to take in just under three weeks now. Doubt we'll have any real time to review for it.

    The class the whole year has been incredibly slow, she has no control over the class at times, and is incredibly slow with grading. I could make a complaint about it, but hey I'm leaving in 6 weeks, shit doesn't matter at all and I have a feeling she won't be teaching calculus next year anyways.

    Pretty much all of my math teachers have been shit

    cept one, and everyone else hated her cause she was a hard-ass on grading

    I thought that was the best way to teach it, helps people actually understand what they did wrong

    buying all this dust-off was probably a mistake

    I just froze a starburst and then shattered it with a pair of pliers

    was picking up pieces for several minutes after that

    The A.P. English teacher routinely insulted me and called me dumb.

    In response I made fun of her for getting malaria while in Africa.

    This was our battle.

    Today I got a call from a manager at the home depot that hired me

    She told me that when she called me last week she told me that I had hours for this week and that I could see them online, but I do not remember that and I seem to have lost my log in information anyway so it wouldnt have helped

    But she gave me 20 hours for next week, and told me what times they are, so I can go in a little early and get my computer access and time clock information again if i don't find it

    So a little down and then back up

    Scheduled for a sleep study on Saturday evening

    thank god, because for the last week i've been effectively a zombie

    I had to take off work friday because I was certain that if I got on the road, I would fall asleep and murder someone on the road/myself



    I STILL wonder how the hell I'm going to get to sleep with dozens of wires strapped to me, though

    I guess it would be considered impolite to jerk it during your sleep study, even if it helps you fall asleep

    jerk it anyway

    It may take a while, but I found it surprisingly easy to sleep with them attached! They're really quite small. The hardest part is staying still and not getting all tangled up.

    Sleep studies are fun! At least, I think so. But then medical tests/stays in hospital are enough of a novelty to me that I don't mind them at all (also they've all been for minor things).

    jerk it anyway

    The nurse who attached my wires and probes was telling me how working in a sleep clinic was actually a pretty scary job

    It's night, you're usually working a shift alone, and many people coming in for sleep studies have significant problems

    Once a man had actually concealed a gun in his bag, and during the night he slept walked over to his bag and withdrew it and was pointing it at objects in the room

    But for her the worst was little kids experiencing night terrors, she also said that it made her really worried and suspicious when their parents would be near by or in the room and the child would seem afraid of them

    That would go a long way to explaining my wife's reaction in this story.

    Yup!

    Actually on a related note, I had a platonic male friend sleep over once when I was in uni. I was up late finishing a project, so I was seated on the floor while he had my bed.

    I'm glueing things together when I hear a soft fap-fap and I realise he is furiously jerking it... While sound asleep. Talk about awkward! Of course I never said anything, just made sure to wash my sheets the next day.

    Way to go Val!

    Funny anecdote, my father for years wanted a pet crow he could call Val. Because..Val..Crow. My dad enjoyed bad puns. He actually did find an injured crow and tried to rehabilitate it, but it only lived a couple of weeks.
