Subject: it never ends, does it?
I don't know if you've got a laptop down there in the medlab, but we've got all hell breaking loose up here. Kids running off to take on trained killers, other kids trying to rally the troops to go join them... my fucking head is going to explode at this rate. Why did I ever think it was a good idea to develop my telepathy?
I think things have settled down, but I swear, some of these idiot children need a basic awareness of tactics and strategy beaten into their empty little heads.
Fuck. Have to go to my lesson with de la Rocha now. You need anything? I may come down to visit afterwards, just for some fucking sane adult companionship.

Of course it doesn't.
Date: 2004-06-22 02:47 pm (UTC)I caught the highlights just now - I've spent most of the morning catching up with me email, but McCoy was down here in a panic a while back getting stuff together to take with them, so I took a look.
I keep suggesting using violence as a teaching aid, but Charlie keeps shooting me down. I'm not sure if it goes as far as needing a grasp of tactics so much as lessons on how to just stop and fucking think a minute in the first place. I think I'm going to modify the Critical Thinking class next semester, and just call it "Remedial Intelligence for the Hard of Thinking", and then sign the daft bastards up to it whether they like it or not.
Best of luck with de la Rocha. Don't envy you. Feel free to stop by afterward - I don't need anything, but the company will keep me from climbing the walls.
