Note to Subconscious: WTF?

[shamela]

For what felt like most of the night, I dreamed that I was in a large warehouse-ish space, filled with cats. All of whom I had to bathe, one by one, in a utility-room tub that produced only cold water. Sudsy, but cold.

In light of the fact that school starts for me today, discuss.

Initial impression? You're faced with an endless and repetitive job, armed with inadequate resources and no assistance. And I certainly can't argue with your subconscious. You have to clean the cats, ALL of them, and many of them won't appreciate your efforts.

Know that this IS a job worth doing, despite the negative aspects. Think back to those students that you consider to have been success stories, the ones you reached, the ones who 'got it.'

For further thoughts, I refer you to mine own journal, wherein I accidentally stopped talking about myself. I'll have to watch that in future. *grin*

Teaching college students is like bathing cats.

I think that's pretty dang accurate.

I'm sorry. I'm unable to discuss because I can't stop laughing.

Happy first day; may you at least have warm water to bathe the cats in.

That is such a great analogy... oh, and I have some band-aids that I can send you.... just saying...

Band-aids...haz-mat suit...rabies shots...all cheerfully accepted.

I have been reminding myself today (and thankfully, it hasn't been that hard) that I actually LIKE cats...

that eases the sting... but liking cats and liking them when they are wet and soapy are two entirely different things :) Good luck with the feline ablutions!!
