Two days ago, I quizzed my students on the basics of solution chemistry. I really thought that I had seen it all by now but I had one girl who decided already that she would just show up to class and not do any work. Needless to say, she "christmas-treed" the entire quiz.
Here's the problem:
The quiz was only 16 questions long.
The bubble sheet was designed for 20 questions.
Little Missy bubbled in all 20 spaces.
Now for the cherry on the top!
Kid today: "Miss, can she get 4 extra credit points for bubbling the four extra spaces?"
Never a dull moment!

Fall colors
Recently, while on my trip to upstate NY, I took these pics. The scenery was so foreign to my eyes and everything was so colorful that I wished my cousin was outside to be a part of these pictures. We (my other cousin and I) stopped the car and got out in the middle of the road to take the first pictures.
We were running a few errands in between trips to the hospital and we ended up at the park where, six years ago, when all of us cousins were together, we played soccer. That was in the summer and back then, ducks were sharing the swimming pool with the kids=0) This time, it was colder and lacked the joy of the five of us (Sanj, Vin, Furgie, Vim, and I) being together but nevertheless, it was so cheerful that I couldn't resist playing with the leaves.
I saw a squirrel gathering supplies for the long winter ahead.
View at the college campus.
This time, the trip consisted of numerous trips to and from the hospital, some more hopeful than others. In spite of all that, Nature was insistent on showing off her beauty.
This is the view from the hospital room.
My cousin was laughing when I tried to take this picture because I had to get the camera lens in between the blinds to get an unobstructed view. It became a daily thing. I would take pictures outside and bring them back for him to look at. However, I opted to not take any photographs with my cousin...mainly because I didn't want to remember what he looked like in the hospital. Maybe it's enough that the image is already in my mind that I didn't want a tangible reminder.
Finally, my favorite of them all!

Statistics
I have found by far, the most tedious, repetitive, boring subject ever! Whoo hoo for statistics! Have never seen such mind boggling formulae before this class.....by the time I'm finished with this class, I'll be ready to go to Greece with all the alphabet I'd have learned!
