  • First, a sarcastic remark: "That's what happens to pretty girls [who] read too much. They become bitches." (bitch magazine, winter '10 edition, page 6).
    Second, good news: I read through my online student evals yesterday. I got them back the week of Thanksgiving, but they are usually torture to read, so I left them for later... but I read them yesterday,
    and,
    they were WONDERFUL. Yeah. Imagine that. First time ever. EVER.
