Random Bullets

Between student conferences, grading, and a weekend-long migraine, I have nothing that would constitute a full post. So, a few bullets:

• A student asked me to text him his conference time. This is only the latest of his comments that suggests he doesn't quite get college.
• What are the blog-appropriate gender neutral pronouns? Ze and zir? I can't keep track of this without help. I like ze though.
  
• I have the go ahead on writing my prospectus. So, my idea is apparently good, now I just have to write the prospectus and get a committee together.
• I'm conferencing with students until the end of the month. Which means my starting of the prospectus will be slow, and in short bursts.
• Next semester, I'm designing my syllabi with ME in mind, not my students. They need the one-on-one conferences, but I need to do them when it won't kill me.
• Also, I'm dropping a paper from one of my classes. I think.
• My zoo is doing well on Facebook.
• I've slept most of the weekend because of the migraine, but have come up for the occasional Stargate episode. Season 8 is now up on Hulu. I didn't see the last 5 seasons when they originally aired. The station that aired them showed them at 1am on Saturdays. Or was it 2am?
• I still haven't managed to incorporate exercise into my daily routine. Partially because my routine differs from day to day and working 10-12 hour days results in exhaustion. I can't wait until I'm done with student conferences.
• I still have 52 essays to grade.
  
• I deserve a raise.
