The Stuff of My Nightmares

While I might fret death by zombie apocalypse by day, I apparently am greatly afeared of school by night.

In my dream last night, I was sitting near the steps at Columbia and freaking out because I'd missed some major cultures class, forgetting entirely that I had any classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. I was also stressed because I couldn't remember if I'd attended my day-time Tuesdays and Thursdays advanced, advanced math class. No amount of going, "Hey, wait, didn't I already graduate? And don't I have work during the day? And why the hell would Hugh Laurie be teaching my math class?" seemed to dissuade me from panic.

I still suffer some residual feelings of being certain that I am missing something and am going to be penalized for it through onto today. Perhaps that's becauses I've not done my homework. Off I go then.

Depending on the state, she might not have been able to. Sexual orientation isn't a protected class under federal law, so it's a state by state thing.

Word was that she was accused of sleeping with a student and turning her into a lesbian. This did not happen on many levels (the woman was highly competent and professional and cared about the welfare of her students. She was in a relationship and had children of her own. The student, of course, was not "turned" gay - she always had been and just decided to come out, etc.)

Anyway, despite it being a very liberal town, the girl's parents were heavy hitters, and the school bowed under the weight. I have no idea if she tried to sue. my guess is that she would have wanted to avoid having her kids hassled at school.
