What song was most recently stuck in your head?

I take attendance by asking students a question.

What song was most recently stuck in your head? (previously 2017)

Most of these were new to me. I'm not in touch with the music scene. Some of them might as well be purely invented by smooshing words together. My apologies for misspellings, I have tried to interpolate letters of the Roman alphabet from handwriting scratches.

• Going Bad
• False Confidence
• Rome
• Truth Hurts
• Your Man - Josh Turner
• Autumn Breeze - Jida
• lose my mind
• Singh is King
• Feel Special - TWICE
• Sight and Shadow (Hiroyuki Sarrano + Gemie)
• Listen
• Just like you
• I Will
• All My Exes Live in Texas
• Good as Hell
• Plastic Love
• Beam - 88 rising
• Run Away - Ben Platt
• Listen.
• Surf
• Born in the USA
• Z3
• hotline bling
• staying alive
• crazy
• love my way

Then there were some opt-outs:

• *silence*
• The 7th mode of the melodic minor scale
• what does the fox say (re last lab)

This post's theme word is demit, "to give up an office or position; to dismiss; to resign." After several consecutive days of fox screeching, we demitted from the campsite and vowed never to return.

What is the unluckiest thing that ever happened to you?

I take attendance by having the students answer a question.

What is the unluckiest thing that ever happened to you? (previously 2017)

Actual luck:

• winning 1 cent
• fantasy football
• an acorn fell on my head
• I think I'm kinda allergic to popsicle sticks :(
• west nile fever
• stub my toe
• losing stuff

Referencing or at least very close to referencing their luckiest things from earlier in the week:

• taking algo :( jk
• going here
• getting sick from Sharples dinner 5x now this semester
• chicken nuggets deemed unhealthy

Some were just extremely unfortunate or saddening.

• near brush with death
• *sighs*
• 6 month long concussion
• *breaks into tears*
• being
• I don't want to think about it.
• getting my heart broken
• my hamster ran away when I was little

Kudos to "sleeping in on the day of my good life choices" --- very confusing. Does this mean that sleeping in was a good choice, or that sleeping in caused you to miss the opportunity to make good choices?

This post's theme word is blate (v intr), "to babble or cry" or (adj), "timid." The succession of so many unlucky events spurred an outburst of blating across campus.
