Some of my students are so bad, they make me hurt.
On the other hand, some are so bright, they make it worth it.
Anyway, my real point in this post is about my wife, not my students. I'm lucky to have met, fell in love with, and married someone who shares my hobbies. It's hard when you don't have anything in common; I watch a family friend and his wife and kids, and they all mock him all the time for liking fantasy and sci-fi, and while he tends to let it go, I can tell it bothers him somewhat.
On the other hand, Elli hates some of the music I love. Not just Filk, but also The Cranberries. I'm listening to this song, and bopping along with it a little as I grade Mid-terms, and it occurs to me "Elli would hate this song." Pooh! ;)
Thank the Nine she likes so much other stuff!
