Greeting Citizens. Today, I think, was the first day that I've felt let down by this group of students. I can only hope it will be the last. Nearly half the class decided not to show up today for open lab. We have an assignment due on Wednesday and they missed two demonstrations and a test review. Won't the little dears be surprised to find out that there is a test on Wednesday. Of course I'll offer a make-up exam a little further down the road but they don't need to know that just yet. And after the test review and demos what did some of my kiddies think was appropriate behavior? Well, they got up and left. I fear that too many of the little dears think they are still in high school. Well they are in for a rude awakening indeed. Excuses aren't necessary, nor is the need to say, "I'm sorry." Pathetic, really, when you consider the amount of time and money needed to pay for an education. But I was young and foolish once myself. They'll have their opportunities to redeem themselves. It all rest in their hands.

The ride home was terrific. I got behind some fast vehicles and we flew home. Normally I'm not one for weaving in and out of traffic on my bike but today the mood and the night was right.
