Today:
– I have been working non-stop from 11 am to 9 pm.
– I have worked on my research, taught classes, and graded papers.
– I caught three students using Google Translator.
– I caught two plagiarists.
– I had to listen to a student claim in a presentation that euskera (the Basque language) is “exactly like Spanish.”
– I had to listen to the strep student’s new story about yet another disease that prevented her from being in class today.
– All I did for fun today was bitch on my blog and cook a vegetable soup.
– Translated a letter to the publishing house for somebody. Without using Google Translator.
– Had to put up with a student throwing a hissy fit because I gave her a B on a paper.
For all of the above-mentioned reasons, I will now drop into a bath-tub and stay there for a long time with a mask on my face, a book in my hands, a glass of home-made vegetable juice by my side, and a rose-scented candle on the sink.
