Overheard in the GVPT gradlab

Me: I hate anal undergrads.  Is there anything worse?

Chris: What is it called when there are animals inside you, eating you?

Shanthi; You mean parasites?

Chris: Yeah, parasites.



My students have a paper due on Thursday this week.  On the assignment sheet I accidentally typed "Thursday, 4/9" (right day, wrong date) and have been getting a lot of questions back about it.  One of my students then actually wrote back: "You said it is due Thursday, but that is kind of ambiguous.  Could you
please type back to me the full due date, including day, date, and time."  FTR, I wrote back: "Thursday, April 10, 2008 by 11:59:59 pm EDT."
