Yesterday one of my grade ten boys asked me whether I considered him "sublime" or "ridiculous". Fair question since I had recently told the class that their scenes ran the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous. (His was ridiculous, and I think he knew it.) This conversation drew my attention to the fact that my reckless use of idioms might be confusing to my students who are still learning English.

Tomorrow I have taken the day off to go to a doctor appointment. Another one of those five minute appointments that require me to book off a whole day of work. This is a second appointment with the BPPV specialist, the point of which is unclear. He says he can't do anything and that the problem will resolve itself, but meanwhile we should keep seeing each other. Why? Really, why?

Can they not do that thing where you lie down and they move you around to treat the vertigo?
Yup, have done it dozens of times. It fixes the problem temporarily, but it keeps recurring. Very frustrating.
