Thank you so much.

First week of teaching physics in high school impressions: youngest ones are around 16, oldest around 19. Even though you can feel the shift in maturity, I'm amazed at how based and mature all of them are. I also find it hilarious how almost all of them want paper handouts for inclass exercises instead of online. As a person born in 1993, any piece of paper seems so superfluous, even though I can see why it exists. I think it's great though, from my indiviual tutoring students I've heard it helps them concentrate, since the device is not involved.
Overall definitely the most fun I've ever had doing a job so far. |

Glad you're enjoying it! I prefer paper handouts for something like that, though, uh, I was born considerably before 1993

There's a link between physically writing something down and retaining it, supported by research.
I can see why using devices would be distracting as well. Couch Workout Club day 18 Three sets of core exercises, and a walk around a Japanese garden. __________________ 'Somewhere up above the great divide Where the sky is wide, and the clouds are few A man can see his way clear to the light 'You have all the grace you need for today, and today is all that matters.' - Steve Austin |

I haven't, and that is a sobering thought.

I am reading a book (Severance by Ling Ma) with a scene in which an immigrant couple is living in a dismal rental.
One of the things that makes it dismal? Precious Moments figurines. SD’s favorites!

One of the hardest things I ever did as an attorney was sit through a slide show of the precious moments chapel with a grieving mother who, for reasons of her own, found me comforting. My natural subdued affect came in quite handy for practicing the sort of law I did.

Interesting, as one of the study methods I used for some college and grad school exams was rewriting some of my notes--seemed to help much more than reading them over. And walk around a Japanese garden sounds nice. |

My grandmother went with Hummels, which are maybe also a bit creepy, but nowhere near the same level. |

I don't know what to say about Precious Moments. The video said the chapel is not ironic but I am having a very hard time accepting that. Are Precious Moments harmless? They gave me a headache. I guess people will do what they will do when their child has died, but this seems regressive. Is regressive harmless? I don't even know anymore.

Was it Chihiro maybe? Wonder how she's doing? Though perhaps it was you and you blocked it out to protect yourself. |
