Image dump

The last couple weeks have been a bit harder on the ol' word-making parts of the brain than I'd like. So instead of some comments about something or other, here are a bunch of teeny-tiny photos from my mediocre phone camera. This are the images that I seem to have thought were worth reproducing:

Data without context

Total number of students enrolled in my Monday classes: 52
Total number of students who came into my classes after the start times today: 12
Number of students late for basic English class: 3
Number of students late for Intro to Business Communication: 7

Which gives us 2 left over students who were both actually about an hour late for Management Theories, a class that I don't even teach, in a classroom in a completely different building, on the other side of campus.

Is it worth noting that the students late for basic English, a 1st semester class, all came in within 7 minutes of our scheduled start? Is it worth noting that the
(presumably) more advanced students for Business Communication (a 2nd semester class) came in between 10 and 40 minutes late?

And what about the fact that I, a person actually born one week late and chronically tardy for most of his educational life, have become among the strictest of clock-watchers?

Nah, none of it means anything, near as I can tell.
