I wonder about the autocorrection feature that results in putting "my husband" in places where it does not belong. That seems to be a rather presumptuous correction of roommate/friend/neighbor or whatever he is going to claim it corrected.

I am trying to figure out what he could have put (hypothetically if the universe he claims to live in existed) down that would have auto corrected to husband. I got nothing. |

Just tell him he has nothing to be ashamed of, and you're happy he feels like he can casually mention his relationship with you. |

Our classes are so overloaded that I've started allowing people to re-take exams that let them test out of low-level classes. Here's a conversation between me and a freshman who took an exam when he/she came to campus in spring for their orientation, and who tried (and failed, fairly spectacularly) to pass the exam again today.
Me: I'm sorry, but you didn't pass the exam to get out of this class.
Student: Yeah, I figured as much. I failed it when I took it before, too.
Me: Did you study [basketweaving] at all between when you took the exam before and now?
Student: (very dismissively) Nah.
Me: If you hadn't done any studying, why did you take the exam again?
Student: I thought I might get lucky.

A friend of mine (late 30's) is in her first week of law school. Today she posted on Facebook:
"K, start classes Thursday. At orientation they asked who read the assigned materials and only 1/8th of us had! Really?!? Paying that much money and you don't even read your stuff?!? Seems weird to me."
As the conversation went on, she remained shocked. I wasn't surprised at all. I think she'll do well with the attitude, but she's in for a culture shock.

And here I'm thinking that "Wow, at least one out of every eight students did the assigned readings! What was the secret to getting that many to participate without an exam to force it?"

The secret is to have the self-selected law students, many of whom are there of their own volition and see the point of doing the reading. |

You know, doesn't everyone have a house band, a group of musicians providing a daily backdrop of music for your household, and giving you their expert advice on concerts you have attended together? |

I think the forum has been a bad influence on me. I responded how we'd all like to that all too common question, "Did we do anything yesterday?" Yep, told the student we were so sad that s/he wasn't there that we couldn't do anything. I think I just lived up to my nickname.
