Grading progress...
Well, I did get the grading finished for my 2 sections of Human Factors last night... And tonight, I think I may be able to submit grades for my other class, Introduction to Multimedia: the Internet and the Web.
I just got back from the Convocation (part of RIT's yearly Commencement events)... I was in my academic regalia... I'll be in it again tomorrow... This time, I might take my digital camera with me again and document another "day in the life" of an RIT Faculty (this may be my last commencement if I'm not going to be teaching full time after this)...
At the Convocation, Senator Chuck Schumer (NY) spoke... It was a good talk. Among the usual "go for it" message he also talked about how he felt that those who go into teaching should be regarded like "doctors" and "lawyers"... And if they do it for 5 years should have their Student Loans cancelled. (Go Chuck, Go!) It was all nice and rah rah, but how likely is this to happen? eh. We'll see.
Bruce Almighty opened tonight. I'm hoping to see it. Some people may question my desire to see this movie... being that I'm all a "God Person" and stuff. But, honestly, I think God can rise above a comedy about what it's like to have the powers of God and teach lessons, and even bring people closer to Him through it. I like Jim Carrey's style (in his comedies, at least). I'll laugh, I'll form an opinion, I may even share it here after I see the show. I'm sure, though, that it will probably have some kind of sentiment that you should "be a good person so that you can get to heaven."... I can't stand movies that imply that... Like you can work your way into heaven... That makes me far more offended that any little joke does.
Well, anyways... Back to grading...
