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.

When I arrived in school this morning the technician told me that the head of the registrar's office called asking for me twice (either me or the director of the school of engineering).

I had a suspicion on what it was about, and sure enough, Ephraim's academic advising folder was not in the pile left in the lab so they won't go to the faculty room anymore.

I really, really hope that he didn't make another (and possibly different) excuse to be allowed to enroll in electronics and communications engineering anymore.

He was already given a warning about it last term, and since he had begged before (in my opinion having one of his more versatile friends call the registrar head claiming to be his parent) this was his opportunity to shape up. Considering that the only “major” subject he had last term was the intermediate computer programming, and some floating courses, it should have been easy for him already.

But still he got a grade point average of below 1.25, showing either he still did not make the effort, or that that really is his best work, and it still falls short of the mark.

If he is allowed to enroll this term, I'm sure the trend will still continue not only because he will be having more major subjects now (along with the sophomores, when his batch mates are now seniors) but because I will be the teacher in one of those subjects.

I know he wants two things: to take up engineering and to take it up here, that he is willing to cry his eyes out and look all pathetic to continue doing that (but NOT do the required work apparently; or he has some learning disability that we don't know how to address here), but his performance by academic rules doesn't allow that.

Either he now takes up engineering somewhere else, or he stays here in some other course.

He has to learn that no amount of appealing to people's kindheartedness can get him an ECE degree from this school, or make him good at the job afterwards.

I hope the registrar's head made it clear to him yesterday, and maybe with the help of the director of the school of engineering, who has been his teacher for at least one and a half subjects (maybe two). Either way, unless if he is forced to shift to Information (but could be Business or Communication Arts) he won't be my student again.

I was going to say “let justice prevail this time” but I wasn't sure it's appropriate.

Session 2165 says it is justice because his staying is unfair to the reputable students . Class dismissed.
