Here's the other problem: Even when the numbers were posted, no one followed the rules and made sure they were available on their assigned day. I'll clarify how it works: At the beginning of every week, check the M-F calendar in the Manuscript corner. Your number will be written under a day. Be available on that day. Otherwise, one of three things will happen when a starry-eyed pupil arrives for guidance: 1) I will have to take over the session and become annoyed with you (most common), 2) someone else, generally one of the same two or three people, will have to take over the session and become annoyed with you (second-most common), or 3) the starry-eyed pupil will not be tuted (unfortunately, still common). This is not good for us. Please change this.
And now, to brighten our spirits, and awkward poem.
My Bed of Spikes
She
looked
like a flight
attendant And talked
like a flight attendant I think she
would have been okay at flight attending
Her hands felt like aluminum Her
elbows felt like elbows
And her voice
was that of
a flight
attendant
It was like being cramped
In the passenger seat, with nowhere
to go, with a person you don’t like Except you’re
not allowed to wear clothes and that person
touches your back While she says
things like “How’s that
feel, hun?” in her
flight attendant
voice
How am I
supposed to answer that?
She knew Her hands were on the answer,
for God’s sake I was about as tense as a Naked person
on a cold table Which makes a lot of sense actually
I have learned a few things now:
Physical contact is not
for everyone
Relaxation
does not
cost
$45
It
takes
thought
And answers
And Sleep
And Pill
Ow
On another note for Manuscript, please be sure that the students are marking up their drafts. Also, if you have a suggestion they do not understand, write it down for them.

ReplyDeleteThis is a picture that I did in Photography last semester. I thought it had great value. I also thought that the way I took the picture really catches your eye.
I think you can copy and paste the website for the picture!
