Oh that life was always simple. But can a baby be very fulfilled?

I find it hard to do schoolwork on Friday’s. Theoretically I have well over half the day of freedom at home. I'll do most anything, except buckling down and working. Like now, I really should be studying for a test. And I will, oh yes, as soon as I’m done with the computer. But when will that be? Five minutes or an hour? Let’s try to keep it closer to five minutes, shall we Byran? Ok.

So that’s settled.

The other thing is, I’m a softie and it’s got to stop. I’ll actually end up hurting the Math 20 students if I don’t stop being so nice. So a student does a bunch of problems the wrong way, but comes up with the right answer. I don’t want to make them do it all over again, so I just go over, explain the right way, have them do two or three and let them off with the expectation that they’ll do it right the next time. Sounds reasonable, but rules are rules and if they don’t do them right they need to. And then I’m really big on being consistent as much as possible so that if, in a moment of weakness, I let one person have it a little easy, then I need to do the same to others with the same problem.

So Byran, do better. Ok.

So that's settled.
