Welcome!

Welcome, whether you're new to my stuff or an old reader, to Farfalla (previously Coming Later, lately Ooh! Shiny!). The butterfly imagery, in addition to being just plain adorable, is indicative of the blog's changes over the past year or so, but no worries; I'm having as much fun as ever and I hope that's apparent.
I hope you enjoy, and as always,

A look at Hartnell leadership...

This conversation actually happened. I'm pretty sure.
Dude in charge: "So... how can we kill students' souls this summer?"
Another dude: "OMG! I have an idea! let's offer a math class necessary to graduate ONLY at unearthly hours!"
Dude in charge: "I LOVE it! So if they have events in the evenings, they will be FORCED to come to class from 8am-11.30!"
Another dude:"Yeah! And the best part is that if they have events in the evenings causing them to miss the evening classes, we can punish them for staying up late by making them wake up at 6.30!"
Dude in charge: "You're a genius. Let's paint you and put you on the mural already."

(In other words. Corbyjane is awake and she doesn't want to be.)

2 notes:

  1. I thought this was hilarious and eerily dead-on as far as instructors' inner thoughts. I'm still convinced some of my college professors were sadists with doctorate degrees ;)

  2. The best part is the first week of class the broken thermostat was set on 80. EIGHTY DEGREES.

    So... Corbyjane is up at 6am after being out till 9pm. In a class with 60 people. Studying a subject made more difficult by dyslexia. AND IT'S HOT.

    HELL. THIS IS HELL.

Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time. ~ Deborah Chaskin

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
