Student "edition" found at {csi dot journalspace dot com}.

Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Today I will talk about the person that a lot of the engineering majors have ironically started calling as "my favorite student", who has piled up a lot of anecdotes in the past few weeks.

First of all, he was absent for the whole of the week of All Soul's Day.

He admitted to one of his classmates that he thought we had a whole week off again just like last year. He asked this same classmate for notes from the lecture classes he missed, emphasizing that "those who do good to their fellow men are rewarded."

What the heck is that about? As if he already knows his batchmates have a penchant for not helping him out, mostly his own fault for being insensitive to their emotions, in other words, not even basically following the golden rule in their interactions.

In the middle of the week following, he gives me an excuse letter for having missed my class. He says it's my copy, and he doesn't have to have it photocopied for the other teachers.

It describes very detailed about his having been sick for the whole week.

I was already suspicious of the tale because of what I have heard from his classmates. This is also not the first time that he has passed a note printed on white paper and only "signed" by his mother for a medical certificate.

So checking with one of the previous notes that he has passed, I found out that the signatures are different. And the one on the most recent one is very much like his own signature.

I will wait though until he pulls off the same trick on one of his other teachers (particularly one a major exam) then we will have caught him redhanded forging his mother's signature.

Session 1403 fakes illnesses all the time. Class dismissed.
