(kind of) Funny Situation

One of my coworkers, and instructor, was a pallbearer in a funeral today. The funeral was at 1, and he had a lecture class at 1. That lecture class also has a lab that meets immediately after lecture, at 2. He asked me to start his lab, and he would arrive late to finish up. I was happy to do this, and put a note on the classroom door informing the students that there was no lecture, but there will be lab.

A student just came to my office and informed of some “bad news”. She said the class was mutinous… they congregated together and decided that since he canceled lecture, they were all going to skip lab. It’s really pretty funny… those students are so stupid. They are going to get hammered for this. Especially doing this to this particular instructor.

Being this close to the end of the semester, he won’t be able to make up the lab. And he isn’t going to just skip over the material. And those idiot students… they’re going to be tested on it, and they won’t know any of it. And I’d be surprised if he gives them an opportunity to come into the lab another time and look at the slides and various specimens. Very surprised.

There are two students, though, that proved their fidelity. They are waiting for him to arrive… to explain the situation. I’m eager to see how this works out.

This is pretty cool.

It shows a bunch of chinese characters that seem to have biblical origins. Like, for instance, righteousness is the character for ‘sheep’, or ‘ram’, over the character for ‘me’.

Some of them are a stretch, but others seem quite compelling. What does ‘two trees’ and a ‘man’ have to do with being naked? Well, I don’t know… but that’s the chinese characters.

interesting stuff.

Thinking of something to buy me?

This year, for the firs time in my life, we’re going to celebrate advent. At the end of the christmas season last year we got a wreath on sale at Target, which we will use for our advent wreath. We talked about it a bit last night… Megan needs to get that puppy ready!

However… we need guidance. This post by Kelly is really helpful. Does anyone have any other suggestions for books or other helps for celebrating advent?
