Z, I'm not touching that one with a 20 foot pole...

IIEM, could I have a cherry vanilla soda, please? Lots of ice.

[Mog] Oy, I haven't used my catchphrase yet! IIEM, gimme a usual?

[IIEM] Right, a triple espresso with an extra shot of espresso, and a shot of espresso on the side (with an extra shot of espresso).

[Mog] And make it strong this time!

I'll have please IIEM.

Looks like being a damp and windy day here, outside that is.

*asks the IIEM for a large coffee*


Hi caerwynn, how are you today?

I'm well, thanks Cal.

How are you?

*sips *

better for the coffee

IIEM a please
hey guys how is everyone today?

Fine and well- wishing I had a clone so that I could leave her here to do housework while I did homework at school!

[Mog] I feel your pain.

The dishes have piled up so high I'm not sure if I have a sink anymore.

IIEM, could I please have a hot apple cider? It's great weather for it today!

ive just seen our kitchen its depressing, it was spotless a week ago when i cleaned it all up but now....
and my room?
i think i once had a carpet when i moved in, admittedly a horrible one but it was there but now im not too sure...!
IIEM a large mug of steaming hotchocolate with loads of whipped cream and marshmallows plese
think im in need of the calories!

IIEM, a nice, hot chai with vanilla soy milk, please.

So, the weather's pretty much turned everywhere, has it?

I gave my students back their first test yesterday. Some folks aren't too thrilled with their grades, I don't think. I tell them that they have to wait a week to talk to me about their tests, yet one girl emails me 10 minutes after class gets out with the subject header "questions about regrading." So I quickly disabused her of the notion that talking to me about her test will result in a regrade (it won't). Sometimes, I really wonder if they listen.

I'll have a please IIEM.

Think I've got a cold coming.

There's bad ones in every bunch...

When I'm tutoring, I get some people who want to understand, some people who just want to complain, and some people who should just say and get out into the open, "I'm just going to lie here. Make me learn earth science!"

its the same where ever you go then?!
i tend to want to do work, but i cant be bothered to ask about marks or about anything i dont understand
yet i know all this and i want to be a teacher!

[Mog] You should see my progress in Calculus.

i take it its not very far?!
what is calculus?
we probably do it over here but under a different name

Calculus- a form of mathematics invented by Newton on spring break, for the purpose of making college and uni students' lives miserable

Useful applications in science and business, and anywhere else you have to evaluate how things change over time.

its maths then!
sounds like my biomeasurement class! thats all statistics which no one can do, its surprosing how many people dont no how to take an average!
