Bless Sir Daughter the Brave Kel! Head injuries hurt ... you can still see where I had stitches on the top of my where someone (-looks pointedly at older brother-) bit me that time [tbh it was kinda my fault .. but I was 3 .. it couldn't be helped!]

That my view also, I'm still doing music now. Not an essay, but composition. PLUS doing Music Technology ... I'm mixing a recording I did earlier in the month. All my coursework has to be in this Friday .. quite honestly, I'm bricking it. :/

On the other hand, I have a pretty immense song stuck in my head. Stuck for the Summer by Two Hours Traffic (off the album Little Jabs) xD

Oh, and I think I know what uni I'm going to choose for my first option xD

Ha! I did that today! I was doing a lecture on Breeding and Genetics today and used this as an opening slide:

I then had to explain that no, they weren't actually brothers!

I also have a loop of my favorite LOLs as a screen saver. It came on today on the big screen as I'd been talking too long! It was such a hit that I have found a new positive reinforcement for good behaviour. If they do 10 mins of work they get 2 LOLs! It works better than bribery by chocolate!

Yup, teachers are taking over the world, one LOL at a time!

Wow! Majorly impressed ... I wish my Philosophy teacher'd do that. It might stop me from falling asleep in his lessons. I don't mean to, but his voice makes whatever he reads sound like a fairytale before bed type thing, and I just start drifting ... plus, I really don't care about what he has to say anymore. We both know that I'm not gonna do well in either exam (one of them being a retake of the previous module too - I only just scraped an E on it, one less mark and I would've been reading a U) thus we both know I'm dropping the subject when I have to re-enroll in College in August. Oh well, the lessons are fun when we get to debate, scratch the essays/exams and it'd be a pretty mintt class. xD

Getting to argue about random stuff? That does sound pretty sweet! I'm planning a debate with my students and I'm a little scared it will devolve into a vicious free-for-all. I may have to pre-check the room for sharp things!

By the way, on the subject of LOLs, who here is waiting for this day?!

&& don't worry about the debate .. but if its not a regular occurrence in the class, I'd get your hands on a whistle, or something that makes a loud noise, and use it to shut everyone up if too many people start talking at once. In my experience, though, usually one person on each side of the argument tends to stand out, whilst others naturally pull back from speaking out loud.

Em before the debate set some ground rules including that the kids must stick to one of these openers to address someone else

The point your making seems to be_________ but the point I'd like to offer is

I thought _____________ was a good point but have you considered_______

The point I want to address is___________________________

I agree with you about ____________________________ but I think _______________________ has more to do with it because

I would like to contradict you on these points____________________

I disagree with you about ________________________________ because_________________________

Along with this make specific additions to the score they receive be tied to voice tone, not interrupting, remaining calm while disagreeing, and presenting arguments without personal attack

well you see, the earth revolves around the sun, and as it does so it spins at a rate of 15 degrees per hour, which exposes a different part of the planet to direct sunlight every hour and produces a day/night cycle. what you're experiencing now is the sun breaking the horizon for another day cycle, just like the one you had yesterday ^_^
if you're asking why it's temporally morning, it's because mankind devised an adequate system of time measure to track our path around the sun and record days, months, and years, etc. we did all of this based on a 24-hour clock, so when it passes twelve midnight, the point when your time zone is directly opposite the sun (citation needed), you pass into the realm of morning because you're drawing closer to the sun again.

I just lost a friend too soon and suddenly, so you have not only my sympathy, but my empathy.

As for why Neko could be tired: lack of sleep as suggested, stress, depression (mild and transient can still affect your energy levels it is literally depressing your body), you're fighting off some nasty bug, you're not eating right, you're developing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, you're partying too hard, LOTS of possibilities spring to mind.

yes, nope (no work = little stress), possibly, no bug (no social life to speak of so can't catch anything), eating the same as I've always been doing (so probably a "no"), gods and goddesses i hope not, *rotflolnpimp* *gasps* *wipes tear from laughing so hard* ow...cramping from laughing so hard (partying hard...yeah right...haven't reached that age yet....mentally at least)...yes and no.
