Things that happened today

A student who had just finished reading my example essay told me that it was articulate. I didn't know if I should be offended.
A student asked me what I did last weekend. I told him I couldn't remember. He asked if it was because I drank too much tequilla.
At 7:00 this morning, I checked cnn.com to find out about the national news. It turned out that Anna Nicole Smith's death counts as a national tragedy I'm supposed to care about.
At 11:00 this morning, while on my prep period, I again checked the web for national news--this time foxnews.com. Apparently Anna Nicole Smith's death investigation constitutes as breaking news.
