Darth Vader Kills These Stormtroopers’ Vibe

Every now and then I find something that makes me smile….just because.  And that’s what happened when I clicked on this CNET link.

These stormtroopers were simply trying to get their twerk on…until Darth Vader killed their vibe.  Check it out.

Happy Monday! 🙂

DMX raps “Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer”

You’re welcome.

 

I screamed.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

I’m not crazy.

It baffles me at how little my students know about the college experience. At first, I was thinking maybe it was me and my educational privilege, especially since I had the intergenerational benefit of the college experience (heyyyyy Baylor master’s cohort! I was able to use that term again! ha!). But I’m really starting to think it’s a lack of common sense. I’m serious. And then they don’t want to listen to me when I tell them what they’re trying to do is a terrible idea. Here’s why I say this:

1. I enrolled a student and then let them know about payment. Their response, “PAYMENT!?” Yes. Payment. “You gotta pay to go to school here!?” Yes. You do.

2. I’ve had students enroll while they were 6-7 months pregnant at the time of registration. For a full time schedule. But ma’am. You’re gonna have a brand new human being to take care of, and I think your time availability is going to be altered a little bit. But what do I know, guys?

3. I’ve had pregnant women ask me about maternity leave from their classes, and what arrangements the professors are going to make for them.

4. I’ve had students who have children, are working full time, and other commitments enroll for full time status (when they found out that’s how they’re going to get their full fin aid, of course). I mean, whatever (not really cause it pisses me off)…but guess what? WHEN you fail these classes the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is going to come after you for their money. That IS going to happen.

5. I had students literally come in yesterday to register for classes (school started Monday) telling me about some preferences they have in times to take their classes. “I want them in the morning and I want them back to back.”  HAAAAAAAAAAA! No.

6.  I’ve had students schedule classes for 7:30 am, only to come in weeks later wanting to “switch” times because that’s just too early for them and they aren’t morning people.  So then why….okay, nevermind.

7.  I have students who emphatically tell me they want to be doctors/nurses, and then request that I give them the “easiest” schedule possible.

  • On that same note, I had a student tell me that they have taken their basics (developmental/remedial classes) and they are tired of that.  And since they want to be a doctor they are ready to take their “doctor’s classes.” I explained that there are no “doctor’s classes” to take especially since THIS IS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE.  Upon hearing this news this student called his parents on me because he just “knew” it was time to take his “doctor’s classes.” Step in, Father.

8. I had a student stay in my office for an hour talking about the fish frys their family has and how great they are.  I won’t lie. I actually enjoyed this conversation.  Buuuuuut then they told me that the Budweiser Lime-a-ritas are wonderful and they were going to bring me some.  WAIT.

9. I had a student’s child throw their sippy cup at me.  I almost lost my job that day.

10.  This situation was very telling.  It happened when I first started to work here.  It also set the tone for what I should expect throughout my time here.  I went out to the waiting area to call a student.  I called the name multiple times.  And I’m pretty loud (seriously, my boss says he hears me from upstairs in his office) so I just figured the student wasn’t there.  I tried one more time.  A person RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE jerked and was like, “Oh, here I am.”  Then when we got back in my office they told me that I had to excuse them because they had just got out of jail and wasn’t used to being called by their name, but rather their number.  They then proceeded to make lots and lots of exchanges on their flip phone.

Ok.

These are just a few situations.  Just a few.  I’ve had students leave blood on my desk. I’ve had students tell me that I’m going to have to excuse their behavior cause they had just popped a pill.  Noooo problem!  Oh and then that whole shooting on campus thing happened.

I just need the people in my life to get a better understanding as to why I’m so anxious and nervous and unsettled all the time. That’s all. Maybe you understand why I laugh/cry/space out sporadically?  Maybe this will also give you guys a deeper understanding into my love for wine.  And margaritas.  DO YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND!?!?

Okay, the end.

P.S.  There are really some great experiences I have had with students as well, but those don’t prove my point so….

Cam Newton. Vine. His Words. My Tears.

GUYS……..

You’re doing entirely too much.

I’m all for appreciating big women.  I really really am.  In fact, there’s this guy on twitter that I’m totally obsessed with because of his genuine attraction and appreciation of big women.  Seriously.  It’s awesome.  Kinda sexy, too.

Oh, wait….

Okay, I’m back!!

Anyway, I’m all for appreciating big women, so yeah. Fashion shows are great.  BUT. Um…we can be sexy and all without doing THE MOST.  Let’s all make that our goal, okay?

 

 

Gots to be more careful, Boo.
