i'm impressed by the sleep schedule, and curious about the beard (and happy about gail).

and my opinion of college students has decreased a bit after TAing, but i think yours is probably more extreme.

will you be at homecoming this weekend?

1) I hear you. However, not *everyone* here has to take first-semester calc, and in fact the version I'm teaching is for science majors. Plus, most of them took some kind of calc in hs, so they at least know how to compute things even if they have no idea what's actually going on.

3) Wow, I thought I had it bad, but apparently not. I get up around 5:45 on teaching mornings, around 6:30 on non-teaching mornings. Have been trying to always go to bed before midnight, but this doesn't always work out. Also, I was probably less of a late-night owl in college than you, so in general the change is much less dramatic for me (but still hard).

2) Yay :)

4) Woah.

I don't think he said he ever had a decent opinion of them...only that it declined dramatically...I wish I could draw a graph in this comment
