moonwiseTired. Tired, tired, tired and my day isn't over.
Taught lab today, and while it wasn't onerous, I had some severely pokey students who required a swift kick in the ass before they would remove themselves from lab. They did their questions and then I left like my ass was on fire.
There was one extra student in my section who was being especially pokey. He wasn't my student. I didn't bother to check his questions. He can pester his own TA.
Talked to Eddie for 45 minutes. Good kid, but dense as lead. He required an explanation of 1H NMR from the ground up, then on to chemical shifts and coupling constants, then on to how to assign the protons and report them.
I don't know why they haven't learned this stuff in class.
Then onto the lab report, which was a frothing gyrating hulk of wrong answers... this kid loves to write essays, so we went through and reworked every problem.
Soon we'll go out for Group Dinner for two ppl who are leaving, and my husband is coming. He'll see whether the bossman really has horns and a tail, so to speak. From my descriptions, hubby probably thinks that he does.
*clunk* Is this day over yet?
