Tom is Away

tonight i’m dressing up as the creepy weirdo who watches the neighbors from his upstairs window.

giving out onions for halloween.

only 9 absences today– the under wins.

over/under on students (out of 50 total) who skip my classes today: 12

you make the call.

wondering what the point is of throwing toilet paper over the branches of a tree.

preparing myself in case some of my students act extra ridiculous because it’s Halloween

After Westbrook’s 1st touchdown on Sunday, Quinn sent a text that, thanks to lack of capitalization and commas, sounds a whole lot worse than he meant it to sound:

"fucking a baby!"

loading my shotgun just in case any bastards egg my house tonight.

thinking about getting myself a free taco.

waking up several times an hour because of the incessant scratching, biting, and gross slurping that my dogs are doing.

i can’t believe i used to not eat oreos.

doing things that don’t involve teaching.

tired of talking about the gender implications of childhood toys.

teaching.
today’s topic: 8 reasonsn why i wish the semester were over.

eating a hearty lunch before going to the front lines

actually somewhat prepared for class in advance.

rooting for my fantasy team to whup ass. also, reading some papers.

waiting anxiously to see in what wacky, creative way the eagles will blow today’s game.

I’m gonna take a stab at this one and say they lose it on a safety in overtime.
