Comms prof told class at 2pm yesterday we could attend an online workshop at 11am today for 30pts of extra credit. Happens to work out for me, but I feel bad for others with work, school, or family commitments who will miss out. 30pts amounts to 1/3 of a letter grade!

Anti-vaxxer classmate, a woman in her 40s: "I really only want people to think about what they put in there body and if it is really a healthy choice. Too many deaths... we do not need more due to blind trust."

I won a fitbit from my school! Unfortunately, thanks to taking 18 credits during a pandemic (i.e. remote) semester, my only steps are between my desk, kitchen, and bathroom.

It's funny being almost 40 and getting encouraged to pick up free condoms from the health center.

Everyone should have access to free community college.

In my class this morning (on Zoom), one student's husband sat down next to her, leaned on her shoulder, and closed his eyes. While she was speaking to the rest of the class.

One of my classes is tiny, just 6 students. And yet one kid (he seems young, maybe 18 or 19) sits there on his phone the entire time! We are on Zoom, his camera is on, he seems to think it's totally fine. Do professors let kids do this in classrooms?

A classmate is from Kenya and has an accent. She answered a question in class, but another student couldn't understand her. That student said, "[NAME], I can't understand what you're staying, your accent is so strong! Professor, what did she say?" I gaped.

This is horrible. What a dick.

Working on a research paper this weekend and came across a very specific sub-genre in an academic journal: feminist dog-writing.

In-class comment on why it's NOT ok to wash dishes in the bathtub: "In a sink, that’s like, dishes bacteria, not like balls and ass bacteria."

One of my professors, who is also a department head, told our class this week that they lied about eligibility in order to receive the vaccine early. Cool?

My crazy sociology classmate (openly anti-trans, anti-vaxxer, tries to turn every class into a therapy session about herself, etc.) proudly told our class today how much she loves the Twilight movies, and watches them over and over. Shocker.

My masterpiece limerick from poetry class: There once was a cat named Six Who got hold of a candy bar, Twix She threw up her food It really was rude Now she’s back to her usual tricks
