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.

Some anecdotes about a certain student: first, although it happened last chronologically, yesterday he showed up at the associate dean's office asking to add four subjects that he discovered (after all of the adjustments in change of schedule , dissolving, merging and special sections) he could take without conflict.

The problem with this is that adding of subjects was finished exactly one week earlier, which even for me is surprising because it's too soon for schedules to be final. Maybe some teachers complained that students showing up after the second week of classes miss too much to catch up properly. Maybe the administration wants less opportunities for late enrollees, and are trying to force them to encode their subjects earlier.

Anyway, on a side note, on that deadline the associate dean was in the office until past 5pm just to accommodate all of the students who were applying. THAT foresight, at least, they haven't learned.

Going back to a certain student, this means that he has less than fifteen units this term, for him to be able to add that many.

I don't know if they will still allow him, or if they will refuse even if he brings his domineering (and opposite character) mother along.

Besides that, he has also joined an in-campus literary campus.

The joke going around with the students is that it's the same as a project proposal he submitted to one of his lab classes, along with some "rocket propulsion engine" something.

And when the director of the school of engineering rejected his ideas as being "too fantastic" that's when he thought of submitting it to the fiction contest instead. No truth in that of course.

That he submitted the same paper both as research and as literature that is.

Session 2197 just finds new avenues to express his preferred ideas. Class dismissed.
