Cry me a river

Tonight, a few of the students were bitching about me maybe giving them more work to do in the Monday night course.

"But we have all these other classes!"

I got quite serious with them and said flatly: "So? This is college. I did this for 12 years. Deal with it."

Quite easily this has become my "in my day, I walked 10 miles in the snow uphill pulling a sled with a dog in it!" story I tell all of my complaining students. If they continue to go on, I add bit by bit the fact that I had two kids, worked, copied music, did web stuff, etc. on top of it.

I'm getting old. *sigh*
