Sweet

Next week is Spring Break at my University. Most of the students are going away to fancy vacations in exotic places-- I just heard one saying to another that she's going to Spain, the other replied that she'd gone to Spain last year and is going this year to France.

The custom is for professors to cancel afternoon classes on the Friday before Spring Break. Not only have I not canceled class, I've scheduled an exam.... and denied all requests for makeups.

That's the kinds of jerk I am.

I hope you are giving them another exam on their first day back as well.

That's right, if you were a big a Jerk as you claim, you would to the exam first thing after spring break.

You all sound like the kind of sick, sadistic, misanthropes who believe that students should have to actually learn something in their classes. Students need easy A's to effect their smooth transition into a job that pays more than yours, not "knowledge" of "philosophy" or whatever horseshit you put on your syllabus.

You can kiss whatever chili peppers you had at ratemyprofessors.com goodbye. Jerks.

Never you worry about how big a jerk I am. A paper is due on the first day back. And there will be a quiz.

I don't have a chili peppers anyway. Justice isn't pretty.

All I have to say *Spiros not being a Jerk = *Grave* InJustice.

Not sure what to make of *Grave*, but it sounds cool.

Spiros said...

Yes- grave injustice. But never fear: I'm committed to being a jerk.
