"below average"

i ruined at least 8 people's days today.
well...am going to ruin their days.

i show up to class, and i give my students advice.

wait.....what?! there is nothing right with this sentence.
"give advice?"
"my students?"
it's bizarre, i know.
the deal: (without being too specific) one of my bff's and myself are in charge of one of the sections of the freshmen architectural foundation classes. we have fun, we laugh, we get our shit done.

alas, project one is complete and handed in as of wednesday. hooray.
and now, the terrible world of grading semi-subjective things.

we handed out at least 8 D's.
and to be honest, i feel like shit.

there were some brilliant projects that must have taken days, weeks to complete.
and there was the opposite.

it's a completely irrational projection, but i think of myself, sitting on that stool, excited to get my grade back, only to be blindsided by a D.
i mean, jesus....we all know that sucks, right?
and here i am, the undertaker.

ugh, it's quite a different pair of shoes being on the other side of grading.
i have a much larger perspective.
