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

Some additional news about the student I mentioned one time before who cross-enrolled at a premiere computer science school on at last five major subjects that weren't offered at our campus all at the same time, so that he could graduate early.

Besides already being sure that he failed in at least one subject, it turns out that he also dropped in two other subjects, again totally throwing out th window the purpose of his having cross-enrolled in the first place, since he's not going to be able to graduate on time anyway, even if he cross-enrolls those dropped subjects again, or take them in our school.

That is, of course, if his parents will still allow him to cross-enroll. Will he feed them any ballyhoo about it being the teachers' or his fellow students' fault instead of being his for thinking he could step into Harvard from kindergarten?

The only thing he has going for him is that other school's larger enrollment, which will ensure that there is at least some part of the student body that is not aware of his reputation.

Then that means he is really not after learning but in not being completely ostracized by his peers (and most teachers).

And he will have to step up his studying (which he should have done last term anyway, or even earlier here in our school so that he didn't have to avoid certain teachers in the first place).

In other news, there was a student who sent me a text message asking if I was available for academic advising. I said I was not, but I told him he could go to the director of the school of engineering or he could go to the dean.

His answer was that he would just wait for me next week, even though it would mean paying a late enrollment fee. If it's a case of thinking he would feel more comfortable if I was the one deciding on his subjects, that's not the reason we have advisers in the first place and we might have to shuffle ourselves to prevent this from happening again.

Session 1463 is afraid of the dean. Class dismissed.
