One former student came by today, just to say hello. He dropped by my lab class tonight and gave me a hug. Unexpected, and very sweet.

Another former student attended lab today. I thought I recognized her, but there have been so many students that I wasn't sure. I asked her afterwards, and she said she was taking the class over again. I didn't recall her failing the course. Turns out she failed the lecture course, but passed the lab, and her inept counselor told her she had to take lab over again. Sigh. Got that straightened out eventually.

Another former student, she of the infamous plagioclase incident, showed up to my lab class at the community college. Turns out, even after failing her, she wanted to take lab with me personally instead of at the university. I am losing my ability to inspire fear. Proud of her, though.

Unfortunately, I am now a "former" student. My work schedule this semester does not allow me to attend my kenpo classes (really, kajukenbo classes). I attended Greg's tournament this weekend (yay, Greg!), and I am starting to feel a little kicky. I think I'll attend a kickboxing class at my gym while I evaluate my options.
