Things My Students Write (Lesson 1)

The assignment: Write a process essay.

Fairly open-ended. I encourage creativity so I don't assign them specific assignments under the topics I am required to teach them. So it was write a process essay about something with which you have experience. Here is the first sentence from an essay titled: How to make girls chase you (as a man)


"Traditionally, girls are to be chasing and act as a chooser that, even if you have done everything "right" and have had social verification from girls that other than her, she will still not choose you actively."

WTF? Feel free to decipher.

New column here at Dead Sea Fruit. Pretty self-explanatory. Your winner for Volume 1 is...




Giants Win!!!!!!!!!

The San Francisco Giants are the 2010 World Series Champions! What a remarkable playoff run it was, as the Giants got stronger as they progressed. A truly awesome spectacle to watch, even if I was on the other side of the world doing so. I'll say it now. This team's core is nasty and they could very well be back next year. I'd like to hope so.

Anybody in California want to hire me?
