icalynn for the cute card! Those reindeer looked like my students this afternoon, all bunched up to give presentations. The students were not half as amused as I was by this comparison.
And, because my mood lightens when I vent but lj-cut for those who want to skip it, I give you random bitching:
1. Students giving group presentations - do not stop in the middle of your presentation to ask your instructor - "How much time do we have left?" Particularly if said instructor just spent the last two weeks repeatedly saying how important it is for you to practice these presentations so that you don't have to worry about time. You might as well say, "I know we had the whole semester to get this together, but we didn't really do jack until this weekend."
2. Campus powers that be - please get your shit together so that, when you post the mini-mester schedule in multiple places for the convenience of all, that all posts give the same dates for the semester. I've already had a student have to drop my class because of your lack of organization, and the semester is a week away!
3. Drivers everywhere - do not cut in front of me, only to slam on your brakes once you get there. Grr....
2 hours and 36 minutes until freedom! One down, two to go!

Another teacher friend of mine had a student in a snit because of a paper that's due tomorrow. She had her mom write a nasty note on Monday about it, saying other students were buying their way out of it (long story), her kid was too busy this week to do it, how dare they assign it, etc.
The damn thing was assigned AUGUST 23RD.
Students. Bah.
