I agree with all of Max's comments about teachers having favorites, and I'll just add one more thing. I've got several friends who currently teach high school, and I get the impression that "favorites" are sometimes the only thing that keeps a teacher going on a bad day. When my buddy Andrew is struggling through another freshman Geometry class with a room full of obnoxious 15-year-old boys, it's vital that there's at least one student in the room who can be counted on for a smile of commiseration and an answer to keep the discussion going. It's got nothing to do with the student's grades or athletic ability and everything to do with their attitude and respect for the teacher.

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.

"RunningBlog" refers to posts related to running that are cross-posted over at geekgirlrunner.

"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
