Wouldn't she be asking how many your school produced in some time frame?
This is what I was thinking. But, who knows?
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

I, too, get carsick if I read; I can't even look at a couple of magazine pages, which makes me furious. But I have discovered I can watch movies in the car without getting sick, which is a huge win.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Reading a book in the car gives me a headache, but I can play Angry Birds or follow a GPS map just fine.

Because books.
I've never gotten carsick reading, thank god. We spent a lot of summers in the car, and I was always backwards, with my back resting against the passenger seat, reading.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I have been known to grade during car trips, however I don't recommend it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh good god, someone get me off this call. It's never going to end.
Thank god I can read and be driven. I can't imagine child and teenagerhood without it. Commutes would have sucked.
Can't drink and sit backwards, though. Learnt that later.

information libertarian
Hivemind question for those associated with academia - we're starting to work with a company called 9thperiod.com. They apparently do "social media for college campuses" with the idea that students will sign up, be grouped into their classes, and exchange information, share useful links (including from the library website, which is where we come in), create study groups, etc. Note that we already have eLearning Commons (Blackboard type product) and obviously most students are on Facebook.
I am having a hard time wrapping my mind around the idea that what they do is worth doing, but maybe I'm missing something?
ION, I got the back of my skirt in the toilet. Stay classy, flea!

My back and shoulders hurt so bad. I barely slept last night; just kept flopping like a stunned fish. UGH.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I used to read like crazy in the car--I was one of the world's easiest kids on a long road trip: a couple of pillows and a stack of Marguerite Henrys and I was good to go for the next six hours.
Now I can manage, barely, to read a map if I hold it at arm's length, but if I so much as open a book or magazine or newspaper while the car is moving I can only tolerate about 90 seconds before the smell of the paper and ink make me gag, and it takes about half an hour before I feel normal again.
