Last day of class with Dr. M today. Which I am really going to miss, even without the compliments on my amazing arguing skills I get occasionally from my classmates. (Sometimes I worry I took over that class. It was like it was expressly designed for me--so glad L made me take it.) I think compliments are awesome and that people should give them more. I know really well what I am and am not good at, but sometimes it's really hard to remember what my strengths are. Especially when they're so intimately connected to my weaknesses; I know that my love of a great argument and conviction in what I believe in is a big part of why I do so well in that class, but the flip side of it is that I have a pronounced tendency to leap down people's throats without warning. So yes, more compliments! 

In other words, I wish people would stop fucking using evolution wrong. But that's not new. I do not care if you've never studied it before, common sense would tell you not to use it until you do know what you're talking about!
