Green Room - Week 27 - Day 7

If the GMT-converter that I used was correct, Nathalie's funeral is happening right now.

So if you could take a moment in your day to send some good thoughts out there for her family, this might be a good time to do so.

***
In Idol, we have a tribute to her going on, if you feel like contributing to it/writing about killing me! (one of her favorite past-times) http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/801771.html

Oh, and of course there is an actual topic due on MONDAY: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/800348.html
with a Work Room: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/800648.html

***

In the meantime though, we are using this opportunity to get into the community spirit with a Love/Thread Q&A.

I divided the group 14 contestants at a time.
The first two groups have already been posted: http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/802311.html and http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/802740.html

Feel free to keep showing them love and/or asking them questions to get to know them better!

The third one is today, so jump on in!

You are a good person, and I like you and I like reading about your life and your experiences with your students.

We teachers need all the love we can get. Sending you many wishes for continued wellness too! AW

We do need all the support we can get!

And thank you so much.

I love reading about your adventures in teaching college kids. Because oh my god, the entitlement. It's delicious. I also have enjoyed getting to know you a bit better this season, and your sense of humor is always full of win. :)

Thank you.

I try to make things funny. That's what's kept me sane.

Well, sane-ish.

I enjoy your stories from the trenches of academia, and wish I had had more teachers like you when I was in school. Your dedication and frustration both equally shine through your words.

I know people who don't care.... part of me envies them, but, then again, I like my job, and I can't imagine going to work when you don't care is any fun.

Oh, but your entries on your students crack me up, and yet I feel that you expect and want them to do well, and you're there to assist those who are serious about it. Your conversations with yourself are some of my favorites, and even though it wasn't for Idol, the not-gay conversation with your underwear was one of the highlights on my friends-list this entire past year.

You're a terrific guy, and I always look forward to seeing what you have to say. :D

The underwear conversation is one of the entries I'm most fond of, too.

And I do want my students to do well. I didn't get into this line of work to fail people, you know?

Thanks!

i love your stories about your students and your days as a student yourself. sometimes i have to nod my head in sympathetic recognition (group projects! oh, man) and sometimes i just have to giggle.

Thank you! It's nice to know that I've struck a chord with you.

I love your entries. I'm a little pickier about the non-fic entries, and what grabs my attention, but your entries always stand out :)
