Susan, I'm so sorry about your mom. I'm glad you'll be able to see her soon.
Aimee, I hope everything goes smoothly w/ your sister's surgery.
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Also, I miss you guys like WOAH right now, but that goes without saying, so I've stopped saying it. Except for right now, when I said it again.

She's doing okay. She wants to come home, but that won't happen until tomorrow at the earliest, we think.

Wasn't Gary Grant supposed to be in love with Sophia Loren at some time? Or am I confusing him with someone else? I'm just remembering something from a ages-old Loren biopic.

Crap. There's only five days left to do taxes? Fuck. I don't see how that's going to happen. Fuck.

Well, we miss you like WHOA, too.
I can say it because I don't say it that often. Because you suck.

File for an extension. I don't think they need a reason, but S' hospitalization should work if they do.

I'm not sure about the "best," but I'll certainly second the nomination for Turing.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
If you have a refund coming, you don't even have to file an extension. But if you wait too long to file your return, the IRS will start reducing the amount of your refund.
If you owe money to the IRS, filing an extension is easy. Send in with it a payment of as much as you think you will owe as you can (there has to be a better way to phrase that), to reduce penalties and interest. If you over-pay, you'll get the balance back as a refund when you finish filing.

I got one of my absolute least-favorite student comments today:
Student: Are there any chances for extra credit?
Me: Just the few extra problems I've told you about before. (These were generally kinda-tricky problems that required a tiny bit beyond just basic comprehension of the material.)
Student: Oh. Well, what can we do if we're getting a D, but we don't think we're D students?
Me: Well, you've got two homework assignments, one quiz, and the final left. You can come to my office hours or hire a tutor to try to do better on those and bring your average up.
Student: Oh. (Clearly disappointed with this answer.)
I've gotten this sort of "I'm not a D student" or "I'm not a C student" argument before (sometimes way more hostile than this girl was), and I so don't get it.
