Nerd alert

Call me Hermoine.

A session was left off the schedule for a class I took. When asked if we wanted it put back on the schedule, most of the class voted no and the teacher said he'd get all the information in the remaining sessions.

I objected.

Teacher and I talked. I explained that the course should include all sessions and an administrative mistake shouldn't keep us from getting all we're entitled to. Plus, it's easier to learn material in the proper time. Missing one session makes that more difficult. He explained that he'd take that into account when teaching and testing.

"You know, I've never had a discussion like this," he said. "Most students want less time in class, not more."

"I know," I said. "I want more homework, too."

Movie Mania!
Featuring the TLJ-
Roger Ebert 4-star system.
Usually, Rog and I agree. Usually.

The Dark Knight
TLJ: 3.5 stars
Ebert: 4 stars
I agree, it's an "engrossing tragedy." A great film that makes you think.

I Love You, Man
TLJ: 3 stars
Ebert: 3.5 stars
I liked it, too, Rog, but not as much as you. Yes, you're right -- Jason Segel is my new favorite guy though I do still love my Paul Rudd, too. I laughed enough that I was happy I rented it. Corny, silly, but smart in places, too.

Ballerina
TLJ: 2.5 stars
Ebert: No review online
This movie followed the ballerinas of the Russian Kirov and other ballets from youth to company. I liked learning how much the dancers sacrificed, how perfectionistic they are (even more than they're teachers and choreographers), and how dedicated, but what was missing? Dancing! They kept teasing me with brief pieces from various ballets. I wanted to see more of the payoff of their hard work.
