Because blogging is more fun than homework...

Here are my daily observations.  They are three-fold.


1.  I enjoy alarming efficiency.  There's a place in Georgetown that delivers bar food, and you usually have to wait a while, but it's always worth it.  I love how all you have to do is call them and they know your address.  I don't know what type of mystical technology Wingo's uses to tie my phone number to my address, but I really wish everyone that delivered to me also used it.  Good work, Wingo's.  You win.


2.  Auto-correct has some really odd suggestions for texting.  Like when I get excited about things and want to say "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" for some reason my phone suggests "gasser".  Because apparently people use the word gasser a lot.  Furthermore, today I wanted to use the word "puppies", which I did, but my phone felt a better suggestion would be yuppies.  (Perhaps my phone is trying to make a commentary on those who predominate the iPhone user population?)


3.  Profanity is never appropriate for children.  Nor is it appropriate for children to swear at their teachers and/or other students on their way out of the classroom.  Which is why I was so exited and thrilled that one of my students wanted to "slap the shit" out of another, and when I reminded him that all of our actions have consequences he said "I don't give a f---- about ISS".  And then I filled out a referral for the first time ever.  Awesome.
