Last class!
I just finished teaching my last class this semester!

I gotta say, aside from some co-worker issues (ok, more than *some*), this was actually a rewarding experience.

Some of my classes actually clapped (though that may have been because they were done) and many students stayed after to thank me. Almost makes the annoying parts worth it.

Oooh...and...ALL of my students passed! ALL of them!

Some of them had to be pulled into the Land of Passing, kicking and screaming, but they did it!



Bring me the finest muffins and bagels in all the land. I'm done!

Ok, I'm not going that far. But yeah. Muffins, bagels, and a keg would be good. ;)

5. you don't wanna bring down the wrath of whatever from high atop the thing
discretion is a wise move in this case.

8. No, because
then I'd have to go outside, turn around three times, and spit.

What the hell is the matter with you? /Toby

Hope all proceeds smoothly, and that you find some relaxation in the not-too-distant future. :bounce:

15. Thanks!
Actually, I would never ask a guy (or a girl for that matter) to miss a football game. Particularly one this time of year. Hell, I have a game this Saturday that I refuse to miss as well.

As for the relaxation...maybe in January? :shrug:

9. Dang, I thought you meant
I thought you meant there was a new, even lower "class" of air travel, perhaps in cargo (bring your own parka). I always expect fresh hell from the airlines.

Seriously, as a former teacher, I say CONGRATS! It is quite the milestone! Definitely go out and celebrate with as many carbs (solid, liquid) as you wish!

:toast:

13. Hahahaha
Are you flying first class? No...I'm flying last class. You know, down in the cargo bay. But at least I'll know if they lost my luggage... :rofl:

My co-workers and I are trying to schedule a carb-party. Alas, for now I'll have to settle for being able to find my desk again!

16. Congrats!
Sounds like your a darn good teacher. :woohoo:

Of course only if the clapping wasn't some neurological nerve induced spasms! ;)

17. Awww, thanks
Honestly, they may have just been clapping because they didn't have to listen to me blather on anymore.

Not that I would blame them. ;)

19. It could be true...
And I wouldn't take it personally at all. They're about a week away from finals. Finishing up a class (complete with passing grades) is certainly cause for cheering...which really has nothing to do with me.

Thank you though. I do like to think that I did a better-than-ok job. ;)
