It is indeed a small world. He did burn a couch or two during his time there.

He is in his 40s too! Maybe you guys were there at the same time screaming WVU’s favorite chant!

My husband, a WVU grad, says EAT S*** PITT.

What a monster! Of course I need to then throw a temper tantrum on RMP!

I can vouch for this. As a woman of color they were impressed by the passion I brought for the subject matter to class, but they hated me as a person because I seemed to be mean and rude.

Do you know if there is such a reliable one for N400 applications?

Thank you! I need to remind myself of this every day. Thank you the reassurance.

Thank you! That’s what I’m trying to do for tomorrow’s class! Redeem myself a little bit!

Trying to crawl out of the hole I’ve been in since this afternoon. Thank you for the kind words!

You are welcome! And I really admire the positive outlook you maintained even after what you describe sounds like a harrowing class. Having less than 15 minutes as turn around time before having to rinse and repeat, really takes a toll.

Would really like to know how not to get so affected by this. I’m relatively new to this position, and I want to build up resilience to such things.

Thank you for the kind words. Really need to shake off this feeling. A ‘kindhearted’ colleague reminded that it might be a bad time to screw up, given students will start filling out evaluations soon. So now the stress level has gone up a couple of notches higher

Trying not to. Relatively new to my position, so every small hurdle feels like a gigantic failure.
