I take attendance by having students answer a question.
What parallel-universe version of yourself would you like to be?
(all typos below are preserved as submitted)
Many students aspire to parallel-universe careers:
- pilot (x2)
- POTUS
- president
- economist
- lawyer
- chef
- cheffe
- astronaut (x2)
- commentator
Some wanted careers based on fame (mostly sports):
- PGA tour champ
- pop star
- win the masters
- dancer
- actress/dancer
- pro sport of some sort
- disc golfer
One single student wanted simply more money, in an amount I have not heard of:
- a bizzlionaire
One student wanted to be an inexplicable parallel-universe version, no further explanation:
a cold one
Some students were nonspecific but positive:
- living in nature
- maybe in bed
Some students were simply nonspecific:
- huh
- idk
And this week's most contented mid-semester student picked simply:
- idk I'm happy in this one
This post's theme word is lotic (adj), "relating to or living in flowing water." (Note that "lentic" is the same, but for still water.) The lotic parallel universe features many gills and a lot of waterproofing on electronics, but is otherwise quite familiar. There are a lot of reunions of the lotic and lentic branches of the family.
