Bad case of acute syllabi

Mon Jan 11 06:56:45 PST 2010

So I can't read a calendar. I thought this week was last week. Or, should I say, that next week was the week after.

Perhaps I'm not being clear. I thought that school started NEXT week, not today. Which means I must now write multiple syllabi.

"Multiple syllabi" sounds like a disease. Eeek! My doctor looks concerned. He tells me:

    "I'm sorry Mr Menzies but you have have a bad case of multiple active syllabi. You will suffer for 14+ weeks. Your symptoms will be tiredness, inability to explain even the simplest ideas, and repetitive exasperation syndrome as you repeat the same thing over and over and over and over again."

He tells me that there is no cure- that I will surely suffer a relapse in the fall.
