Jeremy brought home his teaching evaluations from his first semester of full-time professoring today. I always like reading his teaching evaluations, because he always manages to elicit some inordinately passionate comments from his students. As an example, when he taught at SUNY-Cortland last year, one of his students said something like, "Best teacher I ever had! Dr. B----- is both brilliant and handsome!" Brilliant and handsome. I am married to the man, and those would probably not be the first two adjectives to come to my mind (not that they're not true, JB! Holla!).
Last semester was something of a slog for Jeremy (and me, if you want to know the whole truth). He was teaching three classes he'd not taught before, we had that baby the second week of school, and we were pretty well haggard and unattractive by the semester's end. It was the kind of semester where you just kind of hope your mad skills as a razzler-dazzler make up for any potential gaps in instruction.
So, I am pleased to report that Jeremy totally rocked his semester. He got terrific marks, some great positive feedback, and one truly memorable comment:
"If I had only 50 minutes to live, I would live them in this class. Because it seems to take an eternity."
Classic!
I guess you can't win 'em all, but if that's not worthy of embroidering onto a pillow, I just don't know what is. Nice work, Doc. I find you both brilliant and handsome.

What Emily said. I mean, REALLY?!
UNBELIEVABLE!!! How am I just now reading this entry? Both Steve and I laughed out loud when I read the kid's quote. Love it. It's going to be hard to top it in the years to come.
So hilarious! I would LOVE to take a class from JB!!
