I'm going to go home, wrap part of a dead animal in bacon, cook it and eat it. not sure what animal though. Cow, Pig or Deer. I have a freezer full of all three.

Sound like it was written in someone's native tongue ... then passed through an internet translator.

It happens more often these days. There are some who eventually realize that it's just not going to work for them - at least not in my class - but some insist on it. I have a different student in this same class who does it a lot. Of course, it's the second time he's taking my class since he failed the first time...

No matter how many times I tell them that they can't just write a Spanish/Arabic/Chinese sentence with English vocabulary, they continue to believe that Google Translate is the answer to their writing class woes.

Man, it take me all day to defrost. Bacon and anything makes for a decent meal. I wrap my Fruit Loops in bacon. Hell, I even wrap bacon in bacon.

Seems like Adult School, but I think Adult School is a few magnitudes below community. Mary Lou is in charge of the 'program' students. These student have 'scholarships' from EDD (unemployment department), Veteran Admin, Department of Rehab, et cetera. I never knew California had a Department of Rehab ... so I looked it up ... it's under the Department of Corrections. If they fail Adult School there is nowhere else these people can go.

I imagine in the beginning the papers seemed a bit humorous. But after a bit of time, it must all be painful, nothing but pain.

Woot!! Today just turned awesome:

My boss just came in and said, "hey, just so you know. I'm leaving a little early. Oh, and Dawn (the general manager) has already left. Do what you will with that information."

Translation: Get the jam outta here!!

Gonna go post a "gimme" picture in the whatsit thread so someone can guess it, and then I'm headed straight into the weekend!!

Who built, at first I thought they looked Roman ... but I think they are much younger than Roman.

It really can become frustrating because it makes me wonder where the failure is happening: are they really just not capable? Are they being lazy or inattentive? Am I doing the wrong things to help them? Is the person able to be reached but maybe just not by me? At what point should I stop fighting? Especially if the student seems to care less than I do about the work.

But really, I have to keep finding the humor in it because otherwise it really would be just soul-crushing.
