Take note

Note to self: yelling at the computer may feel good, but it rarely accomplishes any worthwhile goal. Doubly true in the classroom.

Note to my daughter: the rhubarb crisp was terrific, but even more wonderful was the opportunity to see you tackling a whole new life with joy and finesse.

Note to the student who left class "to use the bathroom" and returned with a late homework assignment printed out (what, they have printers in the rest rooms now?) and tried to sneak it into the stack on my desk: I may be many things, but I'm not blind and I'm not stupid. Better learn this now before it's too late.

Note to whoever's in charge of today's weather: 49 degrees in August? What are you drinking?
