woman, I love LOVE your writing! It makes my heart ache in all the right ways!

Aww thanks, you two! I wasn’t like trying to fish for compliments or validation, it was really just surprising, since I’ve gotten used to posting things on AO3 and since AO3′s community doesn’t really do comments, just tending towards kudos and move on. I’d gotten used to shouting into the void, basically, and it’s just surprising/heartwarming to suddenly post something and have the void shouting back.

I always loved your fics because they're perfect! Just like this one ❤️

Thank you!!! I’m glad you liked this one since I feel a little rusty writing it.

[miggylol]

so my mom's a college professor and she always has a stack of stories of silly things students have done. like one student printed out a wikipedia article and read it aloud for an informational speech. what I'm getting at is.... do you have any stories like that, of students doing silly things thinking they won't get caught?

I cut this because it got kinda long!

I think the biggest thing comes from students actually trying the deadline-extension hacks they’ve read online, like when that post was going around about editing a Word document a bit so attempting to open it in the application would result in an error message due to file corruption. As the post went, the expectation would be that the professor would try to open it, see that there’s a file error, and go “Oh dear! My computer is not cooperating! I must reach out to this student so I can request a fresh version of the file!” The time in-between uploading the corrupted file and sending the working file would be an unofficial extension to actually finish the paper.

...Except I was familiar with that strategy, and if a Word document is corrupted, you can just open it in a basic text editor and scroll past the .doc formatting code at the top to see their content.

That meant the students who were very clearly trying to use this strategy got their grades the same as everyone else, without a follow-up email. I graded the half-completed subsections (full of notes like “add more here”) and lack of citations the same as I would have done for anyone. I made sure to give them very specific feedback when I uploaded grades, using direct quotes from their paper, so they were able to see that yes, I did open the file they’d tried to pull a fast one on me with.

(I gave you six weeks to finish the paper, guys. Anyway, that mostly died off after a couple of semesters of people trying the file corruption hack. Word must have gotten out.)

The other big thing that comes to mind was from this one particular slacker student who never came to class, skipped online activities, always had an excuse for why his assignments were late and deserved full credit anyway, etc. (He did not get full credit.) It was the Monday of the semester’s first exam and I had sat down with my morning coffee in front of my computer. Two hours before I’d be handing out the exams, slacker dude had sent an email that said that his internship was forcing him to work that day and oh man he was so sorry but he couldn’t come to the exam! But since it was for school, he knew he could follow up with me for a full-credit re-schedule. Anyway, he’d be in touch in a day or two. :)

I quietly sipped my coffee, clicked over to the page for the office that handles internships, and found the language that specifies that internships are conducted in service of a student’s education and no employer should hire a student expecting them to miss important school-related events, etc. I then copy-pasted that into my reply and said that wow, his employer was clearly in violation of the contract they’d signed to begin his internship. I would be happy to call and tell them that no, you can’t be called in since there’s an exam that can’t be rescheduled. Please email me back with the phone number of someone in charge.

Dude did not reply to my email, but did show up to take his exam. Guess he worked that scheduling issue out on his own. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Five Things Meme

Tagged by @sorrowsflower and @the-aksiz-inator. Thanks for the tag, darlins’. This should be a fun one.

Five things in my bag:

An umbrella. Because I live in the land of perpetual rain and I sometimes have a mile walk into my office. 

Metal hair stick. For days when I don’t have a hair tie on my wrist but my hair needs to be Out of The Way. Or for stabbings.

Aspirin and ibuprofen

Pens. At least two of them: my favourite one for writing with and one I can lend and have disappear into the ether.

A peppermint. Like... I just casually take peppermints from restaurants okay and there’s usually one or two randomly in my purse. I’m an old person.

Five things in my bedroom:

A river otter plush from @girlwithakiwi that hangs out around the headboard. I once tied a scrap of blue cloth around his neck and called him Otterbatch and the name has stuck.

Surprise!Oddish currently lives under the bed. We’ll see if Mr. Godfrey Norton notices.

A collection of too many red lipsticks.

A Monet print of a cottage on a sea cliff. It’s not one of the big well known Monets but I like it a lot.

A legitimate mess of bras and robes and clothes because being an Adult does not automatically come with cleaning skills.

Five Things I Want To Do With My Life:

Travel. We’re slowly working on this one. Last year was an Alaskan cruise, the year before was Paris. Not sure what we’ll do this year but I’m sure it’ll be fun.

Make a difference to someone. It doesn’t have to be like... a Huge Difference, but it would be nice to be able to have made a mark on someone’s life, for them to think that I’ve somehow inspired/changed them.

Feed people. It’s one of my favourite things to do and I really should do it more often.

Sleep. More sleep. A lot more sleep. To be able to really rest without feeling guilty, to be able to sleep without driving myself to exhaustion before sleeping because exhausted sleep is better than staring at the ceiling fretting

Learn how to balance self-prioritization with selflessness. To give to the people around me without taking too much from myself. To be able to be counted on by the people I love without neglecting myself. Working on that one.

Five Things on my To-Do list:

Make Mulan’s underblouse for ECCC (uuuuuuugh I know)

Get this cake out of the oven

Make tomato and sausage risotto again

Learn how to temper chocolate

Five things people might not know about me:

I am 5′ tall. A lot of people, the first time they meet me, tell me they always envisioned I was a lot taller. I’d like to think this means I have Presence.

English is not my first language. Depending on who you ask, my first language was Cantonese or Hakka. The latter I have lost completely, the former comes back with immersion.

I... actually have a much slower fuse than people think. It takes a long ass time for something to go from Zero to Kill for me, but once it gets there it stays there for a long time.

I am the oldest of four sisters. People don’t know this normally but once they do a lot of people tell me “oh. Yeah I can see that/oh that’s why you’re so aggressively bossy”. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

For an engineer, I’m kind of bad at math. And spatial intelligence. I really need to have hands on visuals of a thing to understand how it works. But I am very good at translating from technical jargon to English, which helps me being an engineer than most people realize. Because most engineers are bad at translating.

Five Things I’m Into Right Now:

Cake. Did I mention I have chili chocolate cake in the oven.

Elementary.  I mean I’m always into Holmsian adapations but Elementary is like favourite child right now. Although I always have a forever soft spot for Lara Pulver’s Irene Adler

Hamilton. 367 days until I get to see the show!

The Expanse. Fun show. Very fun show. I’m still a little eeeeeeeeeeeeeh on it because there’s just too much Gritty Corrupt Politics and I’m a little burned out on that sort of thing right now but it’s still pretty good.

The Chronicles of Amber. I’m doing a slow reread at the moment and haaaaaaaaaa how much have I forgotten how much of a pretentious ass Corwin is.

It's thanksgiving week (aka legal partners week) so ofc I'm re-reading it for the 10th time and I just gotta say this fic is like a fine wine..... it gets better with age. Like there are little things I pick up every time I re-read it that I didn't notice the first time which just makes the whole thing so much more enjoyable??? thank u for blessing us with this gorgeous creation.

Ahh thank you for the nice ask! I spend way too much time putting tiny things in stories to amuse myself, but hearing that they do pop out and do add things to readers is super a+ nice to hear :D
