Wasn't expecting another morning thunderstorm today, but here we are.
Ha ha! My mom dropped by with a surprise afternoon Krispy Kreme donut delivery.
🧙♂ Had some fun with a mono red Alchemy build last night. Despite its flaws, I definitely like many of the things Alchemy contributes to Arena and there are some really fun new cards like Kobold Warcaller that aren't rares or mythics.
🧙♂ Played some HBG phantom draft last night that Arena put up for the Midweek Magic event. I continue to find it a fun format (started 5-3 then kept playing for another three wins), but I'm reluctant to invest gold and gems.
⚽ My mom came to visit this evening and stayed for dinner so I completely forgot about the USWNT - Mexico game until the last twenty minutes. They got the 1-0 win (and I saw the go ahead goal), but a completely underwhelming performance against a subpar Mexican squad.
⚽ Wow! Great start for England as the Lionesses lead Norway 2-0 after 15 minutes.
⚽ Watching end of practice session 3x length of pitch runs (x14) from Spurs' preseason Korean tour. Gil, Sanchez, and Sarr have been consistently leading the group. I'm particularly impressed by Sanchez given his larger frame compared to the other two. Kane and Sonny pushed themselves early, blew up, and dropped out.
@matigo I suspect part of the problem is that grading isn't granular enough. When I was in high shool it was on a 4 point scale (A=4,B=3, etc.) but it didn't break it down further like college so there was no A-=3.7, B+=3.3, etc.
Grade inflation is utterly ridiculous these days. We just got the newsletter from our school district and they published the list of valedictorians for the local high schools. One had over 50 valedictorians the other 27 for graduating classes somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 students. 30 years ago my own graduating class had 7 and I feel like that's too many.
