Maybe the real problem here is that you–or anyone, anywhere–considers swimming classes to be part of a general knowledge curriculum.
By the way, they are Mack trucks. Not Mac-trucks.

Thanks. I think the title of it is throwing people off. Of course, I believe everyone should go to college. But, at the same time, it’s a choice, and you have to be responsible for that choice.

This is really really great. All day I’ve been searching for literature to help me “let go” a little, and your ability to concisely, politely, and compassionately dismiss the amendment for the sake of inevitable hope has let me breathe for what feels like the first time today. THANK you

Oh gosh, this year has been so bad. I haven’t needed an inhaler since college, and I had to go back on one this year. I was using the rescue inhaler every day too. Still, sometimes I yawn almost constantly. Makes teaching interesting. I hope the pollen chills out soon and we can both breathe again. This is NO FUN.
