Make the bombers run 26.2 miles 26.2 times.
Students have been failing my projects left and right lately. Ya know what I'm going to do about it? Nothing. Because this is college, and I give out plenty of samples and my instructional guides are pretty... instructional. Like they are supposed to be. The only thing I can think is that everyone got a wee bit lazy. The 12-week class I wrapped up last week = lots of final projects that were just YUCK. It was as if they didn't even read the instructional guide; I can say the same for some of the projects coming in from my online classes, too, right now. The only thing left for me to do in order to see awesome projects? Do them myself. Yeah. So, I think I'll do the opposite. I'm going to delete a few samples & put the instructional guides on a diet. No one is looking at them, and no one is reading the guide anyhow. Plus, I've been meaning to make them all consistent in their layouts, and concise in their wording, etc.
I guess all this is a distraction from what happened in Boston yesterday.I've been looking forward to healing from my surgery, so I can start running again, and this whole event just scares me. These people were just running or these people were just cheering on runners. Such a great day filled with accomplishments. So sad. And an eight-year-old was one of the ones who passed away?My demented mind hopes they find the people who did this and make them run 26.2 miles 26.2 times without water. Without shoes.I've joked that running was an acceptable form of suicide... I never wanted that to be true, ever. EVER.
