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

Third lecture in my computer architecture class earlier. Last term's slacker student showed up when more than two thirds of the class was over, in fact, when I was already listing the exercise.

He's still considered absent for that class though. And it may not be accurate to call him slacking but rather unmotivated.

Again, he's not a freshman that ought to be reprimanded though. At this time he should know already the consequences of his inactions.

@@ Before my class, we had the panel interview of the college guidance counselor, which is again not accurate because apparently now they are thinking of a pool of counselors for grade 10 to college, who all have teenage problems.

Anyway, it was already suspicious to see the guy's curriculum vitae considering he's moved from one counseling job to another in different schools, in some of which his contract expired (which meant the school had no intention of renewing).

He gave several different reasons for not continuing in different schools in the past, such as having decided to apply instead in a school closer to his residence, which doesn't explain why he's applying with now, still further away.

But what irked me more was that this teacher in his forties who was born on April 15 (Titanic, Adolf Hitler and all such disasters coming to mind) got a piece of paper to count how many times the applicant said "actually" and to write down his grammatical errors.

And all of his questions were not related to counseling on discipline, such as fraternity cases, just because he was assigned discipline signatory before. He even asked why for one term in his transcript he dropped most of his subjects and in the remaining subject got a failing grade. Talk about shameful and pathetic.

We all agreed not to hire him, but not for those reasons Mr. Discipline listed, which included - he said, being ridiculed by the students for his different background of campus culture.

Session 2195 is the star in his very own mental one man show. Class dismissed.
