Something is Wrong Here

I am reading a webpage in Spanish. About genetic identification techniques. And I think I am getting the gist of it.

Clearly I have gone insane.

In another life, I posted about certain things that students tend to Google. Occasionally I get an e-mail from a student demanding to know what else I know about certain things. I say "demanding" because there is no "please" involved in the correspondence, nor a specific question.

Seeing something along the lines of, "What else do you know about Moses?" is not rare. Well, actually, it is rare, because I didn't misspell any of those words. "Wot else do u know about Moses?" is more like it.

Moses is a pretty broad subject.

I am not going to write an essay about Moses. I am not going to respond to the e-mail with a request for clarification. In fact, I am not going to respond at all.

Last week I tattled on a couple of classmates for the first time in my academic career. Apparently they thought the test was a group effort, and when the two of them together couldn't figure something out, one of them looked at my paper and reported back to the other.

I suggested to the professor that we sit every-other-desk from now on, and the best part is...said professor wasn't surprised that it was a problem. Way to be proactive, jackass.
