Help anybody?

Perhaps they're the alternative team.
I have heard before that term in the university.
When was law university in the degree, there was a girls group with the intention to be the most popular in the degree and really they was very beautiful for the face anybody with the excellent opportunity of the catch some guy in the university.

Well they got the category of the alternative degree, I mean they majory of the votes champion of the career.
Because they was the unit girl with an beautiful face in the university.
Since then they was the alternative girls of the degree laws.

So as that term isn't new in the school between the youths.
I toyed that they should have named themselves the degree nerds of the university.
And they wasn't.

It's great, but I have only seen the first four seasons, I'll wait a while and then I will buy the 5th as they are really expensive over here. I could also risk getting a region 1 set from Amazon.com, but they don't always work...

Isn't it on Hulu or something? I'd be willing to bet that you could see all of the episodes for free online.........

Quite probably, I'll give Hulu a try and if I cannot manage I'll ask one of my students.
I tend to buy most of them and then share them with my friends, students... but I'll have to start saving some money now that my salary is going down.

Yes, but when all is said and done, I love teaching.

Oh, so do I.It's an incredibly rewarding job, provided you like it. But I hate exams and all the decision-taking that goes with them. I hate to see my students suffer and my workmates usually say I'm not objective ( I give too many As in their opinion)... but I think they are too strict...

I'm too strict AND I give too many A's. Interesting that you say that the exams come with too many decision-making issues. I'm in the middle of a huge mess right now, and many of the adults involved are only interested in placing blame on other adults. I'm only interested in getting the best for my students. Therefore, my voice is not heard....
