Yes, it's that time again. The "why are undergraduates so . . . aggravating" time.

Well, I suppose it's nearly always that time, but still.

What's more fun to think about is that, next year, I'll have 50 annoying students as opposed to just 5 or 6. Joy.

Anyways. I love how they expect you to respond to an email immediately. But, if you email them, even if it's clearly important, they can take their lazy assed time to get back to you.

Ah, double standards.

And I wanted to do this as a career because . . . ?

Hee ... I chuckle inwardly every time you talk about undergraduates, being that I am one. Though not aggravating, I'd hope! I've certainly known more than my fair share of annoying undergrads, though.

Ah, I know. I'm sorry. Present virtual company excluded. :) I was obviously an undergraduate once, and hopefully not an aggravating one. And of course, I have dealt with my fair share of smart, reliable, great undergraduates. It's just easier to complain about the irritating ones. ;)

Undergrads are the Universe's way of reminding you that evolution does in fact occur. :o) Well, sometimes.....

Or that evolution isn't harsh enough . . .
