2009 Year in Review

Credit goes to all over the freakin' blogosphere, such as here and here and here. I've seen this at too many of your homes to count, so if you've done this meme (or some variation) please make some noise below. And happy 2010! (2008 was pretty exciting, too.)


Let's recap the year with the first sentence from the first post of each month.

January: This week a student made an appointment to talk about last semester's final exam. (From "Thank you; may I please have another?")

February: The other night I had my most Miranda moment to date. (From "Death by chocolate")

March: Who needs spring break more: undergrads or faculty members? (From "A question for the masses: gimme a break")

April: My DVR is 97% full. (From "How busy am I?")

May: Dear googlers, When you google "how to cheat with calculators" or for other cheating tips (like How To Fool That Bitch Professor), the post of mine that comes up is this one. (From "How students cheat: a youtube sampling")

June: My fridge/freezer/cupboards contain the following foodstuffs: (From "feeding frenzy")

July: Lots of firsts this weekend! (From "weekend of firsts")

August: My mother has had the same microwave since 1984. (From "How much would you pay for a microwave?")

September: Well, my darlings, I got it. (From "Flu policies")

October: I know that I'm an amazing professor. (From the not-so-modest "Boosting the ego")

November: As the semester winds down, it's a good time to reflect back on the last months. (From "Finally getting some")

December: I'm not sure students here at PermaU really understand that once they have a Judicial Committee ruling against them (cheaters! cheaters!), some professors will never view them in the same light again. (From "Judging the judged")
