Cadbury Creme Egg Famine

Apparently the Cadbury Bunny does not visit Island State leaving creamy eggs behind. At first, I thought this was because I shop at a Japanese grocery store. But no, today I went to a national-chain drug store to buy a Cadbury Creme Egg (I had a break in conferences and needed a restorative), and there were NONE. I had to settle for a milk chocolate bunny with peanut butter innards. This simply will not do.

Highlights from today's conferences:

• One student explained how my teaching methods were ineffective and "pointless" while staring at my breasts.
  
• One student cried. She is an "A" student (been in my class before) and a strong writer going through a very stressful experience without any support from friends and family, which is understandably taking a toll on her ability to do the work. I wanted to adopt her (despite the fact that she's only 7 years younger than me).
  
• The student who did not attend class in March came by and asked "We don't have class today?"
  
• One student informed me that she was afraid to ask me for help and thought she might have a stupid topic, which is why she hasn't turned in the last two assignments. Oddly enough, I am more excited about her topic than anyone else's in that class because it's unique, fun, and not a paper I have read before.
  
• I saw the only student who skipped his conference on the bus home. I had to fight the urge to give him his paper back on the bus.

I must read 15 papers tonight, or I will turn into a pumpkin...or maybe a Cadbury Creme Egg.
