On Wednesday, I received a Facebook friend request from one of my students. The very next day I received e-mail from him saying he'd been sick for the past few weeks and hadn't been able to study for the midterm scheduled for that day. hmmmmmm.
And now I see from Facebook that he planned to attend two different parties that very night, one of them in another city. Double hmmmmm.
addendum #1: I also see from Facebook that this student claimed to be be "studyin" and "studyin like a champ" on two different days a week before the midterm exam. Triple hmmmmm.
addendum #2: another unthrilling aspect of Facebook is seeing the parties your granddaughter plans to attend this weekend.
