I had a particularly amusing incident today in class. We've started a new quarter, so we were doing student intros.
One young woman said her name was Erin, and two others chimed in that they were also named Erin (same spelling). Of course it isn't that unusual to have 2 or 3 students with the same first name. Chris. Ashley. Melissa. James. Or in this case, Erin. When named the same, I go by the last initial. The first Erin said she was Erin E. The second Erin said she was Erin D. And, sure enough, the third Erin said she was Erin C. In light on the recent discussion on names, this is the same class with a student whose last name is Academia. In my earlier class, I have Robyn Bird. On the plus side her parents didn't name her that -- she married into it. So, was she more attracted to Mr. Bird because her name was Robyn? =) -- Sue Frantz Highline Community College Psychology Des Moines, WA 206.878.3710 x3404 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://flightline.highline.edu/sfrantz/ --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
