!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!
I AM WORKING NOW. I HAVE A JOB. AND A LONG COMMUTE. THAT MAKES ME ANGRY. AND TIRED. SO IF YOU COME NEAR ME, AND YOU HAVEN’T EITHER DONE MY WASHING OR MADE ME SOMETHING TO EAT, I MIGHT JUST PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE. DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU.
Nah, I just need some sleep. The students in my tutorials are good, and the course material is easy. And do you know what? I think I’m good at it.
Mind you, I may be proven wrong during existentialism on Monday.
Mark: “So existence precedes essence, and that accounts for the fundamentally empty character of the for-itself, right?”
Students: (Heavy snoring)

May be dozing students are lowballing and using the old and never really self favoured method of osmosis through heavy snoring/sleep.
Another thing on the RSS, they don’t always show up in aggregators (like to use FF) when the post title is blank.

Hey, is the older looking tutor dude with the matching tweed jackets and wireframe spectacles that wrap around his ears who looks like he’s a character from an 1800’s drama set in a university, that I mentioned to you last time you were doing this there?
I’m still totally intrigued by him.

I too am now intrigued by Tomas’s tutor.
Wondered what had happened to you. Not at all Markish to be absent from the internet.

Switch - You’re on the ball RSS-wise. Thanks! Re: osmosis, I think I have to be asleep as well to make the mind-transfer work. If that’s what it takes, I think I’m up to it.
Tom & Shelley - There is Colin, who is British and old-school, but he is in his sixties and not at all ironic about it. Does that fit the description? I mean, he’s not exactly the most enigmatic of individuals either…

You seem like you’d be a pretty good teacher.
Osmotic learning is a myth, sleeping on top of your books does not magically transmit information to the brain, as I’ve unfortunately discovered.

Ah, I have no worries on the face punching then because I almost always bring something to eat as I have been told that I am a good cook. If this is not the case then I will be administering punches to faces of all the guilty parties for planting this idea in my head.
