Information

The librarian received a Magic 8 Ball from her Secret Santa at work. The note said, "In case you can't find the answers by doing research in databases, in books, or in other scholarly resources, you can always find the answers with this Magic 8 Ball.

The librarian was not amused. She displayed the Magic 8 Ball as a courtesy. She planned on disposing of it soon. 

Hooray

Rory was happy to have made it through another semester. Now, instead of working on his computer he let his computer do the work. The Netflix work. Good job, computer. Good job, Rory!

Grad School

Rory just finished a 30 page paper, a 20 page exam, and a 15 page reflection. Rory now has an awful hand cramp. And brain cramp. Poor Rory. Graduate school is hard.

Also, Rory is getting a graduate degree. Lucky Rory. 

Current Events

Rory liked to read the paper to keep up with current events. Doing that made Rory feel like an informed citizen. An adult. And reading an actual paper copy of the paper made Rory feel very retro. 

Lying

Rory didn't mind lying because it was grammatically correct.

Rest

Self-care is important. Getting good rest and relaxing are important and helpful in managing stress. Sometimes we don't do that. Or sometimes we wait too long to do that and then we get sick.

Rory was so tired after class and assistantship today. Rory decided to get some good rest and relax because those things are important and helpful in managing stress. The couch looked inviting. Maybe just sitting for a moment would be good. What a nice couch. Rory thought, "My couch is my favorite place in the world."

Then Rory thought, "I'm not very well-traveled."

Don't do that.

"I didn't realize you could tell I was on my cell phone," Parker said.

"I didn't realize you thought I was a moron," professor responded.

It was not Parker's favorite day in class.
