Wild dogs of the sea

Harp seals, of course. As opposed to students--wild dogs of the classroom.

Today, since the testing splits, I get two classes and two freshman advisories. Que rico in hormones! Boredom is triumphant, and with that, the desire to make bad things happen.

Sigh. Why can't I teach violence, like Gemini?

Many more thoughts, on the ties of friendship, and the losses that can drive you mad, and on Misty's observation that I get moody and complicated to avoid simple fun.

Simple fun can be nice, but sometimes the more complex things/thoughts of life *do* take priority. "The unexamined life is not worth living."
