Valpo is sent off!
Official date to start reviewing is around the end of October. Time for anxious waiting while I send out some more of these.

I didn't send it. Too many actual Religious Studies people out there. Interdiscipinary stuff doesn't go very well, even though my stuff is as interdisciplinary as it gets.
So I assume this means playing golf with the higher ups in your company or clients that are in town.
I know the job is more important than the perks, but with the way you like hoops Valpo would be fun for you and the family. Hate to see Z lose her Cyclone roots though.

Looks like their tickets might be awfully pricey.
First look, it seems like their schools are all right, maybe even good, but that's just a few minutes of looking.
So are we all meeting up at a tailgate for an RTT group picture tomorrow or what?

Time to party Friday style and start grading exams!
First recon through looks like people did fine.
Someone apologized in writing even though it looks like she probably didn't need to.
Another guy tore pages out of his blue book and turned those fragments in. Never saw that before, but all right.
One of the fun parts is knowing that there is always something new waiting, and I don't mean that in a making fun of people way. People just find creative ways to get things done.

I'll have someone take a picture of me and you can photoshop me in & photoshop me wearing a yellow ISU shirt.
She sounds like she has high standards. I like her and feel bad for her at the same time.

I remember a couple years ago giving some sort of B grade to someone. That was wayyyy below her standards. She broke down, cried, sent some e-mails. We met a bunch of times. I showed where she was at in the course and how getting an A was in reach by just doing her normal work (or by writing her name on stuff, almost).
But the B clouded everything, shattered her confidence, and stimulated an aggressively neurotic last few weeks.
She got an A. It was simple addition, but perfectionism is tough.
Perfectionism is an interesting thing for me, because I love perfectionists and wish there were more of them. We have too man people
that get distracted by a microwave with seconds left rather than focus their abilities on something more substanative.

The trick with perfectionists is that they get paralyzed by the thought/fear of imperfection.
It took me a loooooong time to realize at all that it's fine to work through imperfection on the way to doing my best. I think I wasted a lot of years that way.
But high standards, well, that oughta be the thing for everyone.
