TheUnknown 39 Posted September 16, 2011 I had a holy sith moment with one of my students today. Today, several hours after class, I go to the ATM in the student center. Behind me is one of my students. We chat a little while. I explain how graduate assistantships work, yada, yada. We also had a test today. He says something along the lines of his dad would kick his ass if he failed the test. He says something else and then says "My dad is a member of the state legislature." "Whoa, whoa! Who is your dad?" "Ed Lindsey, the State House Majority Whip." Being the nerd I am, I immediately know the guy's district number, party, and the fact that he's the only Republican representing a part of Atlanta (Northeast Atlanta, including Buckhead). In the back of my mind, I'm thinking: "I would like your dad to lose his job." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandora 77 Posted September 17, 2011 I had a moment like that yesterday with one of my students. Except he was an hour late for an 80 minute class ands in the back of my mind I was thinking, "please give me an excuse to beat your ass in front of 250 other students.

Pandora 77 Posted September 17, 2011 He took an aggressive posture at the professor. As her TA (which in this class stands for Thug Assistant) I felt obligated to show those hoods how to get beat by a girl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drake 53 Posted September 18, 2011 The problem is that it's on blu-ray. I don't intend on ever buying a blu-ray player until I'm forced to. The difference in quality between it and a dvd is negligible, in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted September 18, 2011 Do Blu-Ray players play regular DVDs too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
