Just watched the season finale of #AManOnTheInside via @netflix ... I really enjoyed David Strathairn's performance (although not sure why Mantzoukas disappeared at the end) #FinalExams
Did NYU even get threatened by #Trump?

Four hours of sleep are *not enough*, I‘m already battling some leaden eye-lids… Whilst running, I felt quite good. Yesterday’s rain has left the air clean and fresh, an absolute delight. Nevertheless I am sitting in an exam room, helping my colleagues check out their listening comprehension audio file. Sound is rather good, I set up a quadrophonic sound system. That should do the job. #Running #applewatchultra2 #school #FinalExams
When I was writing my final exams for grade twelve, a couple other students dropped acid before showing up. They sat a bit ahead of me and to the side, so I couldn’t help but notice their behaviour. One was scribbling away furiously on his paper, and the other wrote nothing, but nodded vigorously as he ran his finger along the questions. At the end of the period, the one who’d been writing jumped up, swore, then squatted down on the floor scooping up all the words that had fallen off the paper. When I asked the other how he did, he told me he aced it because he knew the answer to every question. #acid #LSD #drugs #FinalExams #exams #memories

I've always struggled with decision paralysis (e.g., choosing an ice cream flavor or ordering at a restaurant are ridiculously painful).

So grading exams is always the painful/exhausting culmination of an otherwise enjoyable semester (so many decisions!! need to keep things fair/balanced, but want to give partial credit for what pieces were understood, but need to weight different types of errors differently and consistently...)

The thing about being in your 20th year of working a show, is that you can grade papers while running lights and never miss a cue. You have a sixth sense about when they are coming. #Nutcracker #FinalExams

Grading #FinalExams in my Environmental Earth Science class today. I asked students: "In your lifetime, what is one way that #ClimateChange is affecting or will affect you personally? "

Top answers from my students in Ohio:
- Loss of snowy winters
- problems with hotter summers
- links between air quality and health
- increased frequency and severity of storms, fires, floods affecting their families or places they want to visit or live.
- increasing food costs
- concern about starting a family
