Okay so I'm a total amateur.

One of our full professor just cycled by me, balancing his box of exams on the back of his regular bike. Didn't take pic because I was riding a bike myself, with my student behind me, and didn't want to set a bad example by taking my phone out and breaking the law, so y'all just have to take my word for it.

I guess now I know what I have to do to become full professor.

POV: you’re a professor in the Netherlands and you receive a notification that your exams have been printed.

Not the most appetizing shot, but I want y'all to know that coconut rice pudding with mango, lime syrup and crushed pink peppercorns is very yummy.

(Context: we had our Easter potluck lunch at work today and I brought rice pudding with various toppings. Other toppings were lemon curd, passion fruit, banana, and powdered sugar. Had intended to also bring the caramelised bananas that I had made, but forgot.)

Me: In the interest of time, I will convince you using a Proof by Intimidation only.

Student: Sure!

Me: *shows slide*

Student, nodding approvingly: That worked :)

Devastated to discover that there is only one Trekkie among my students, and he hasn't even watched Voyager.
