Female student, approximately 20 years old, who missed the in-class composition the other day came up to my desk this morning...
"Can I make up the compo?"
"Do you have documentation for your absence?"
"No."
"Well why were you absent?"
"I had a doctor's appointment. It's a regular thing."
"Well in that case you all are supposed to schedule such things outside of classtime, that is, if it's not an urgent visit."
"Well that's the only time they could take me for my botox treatment."
Holy. Shit.
Now I'm no longer worried about her absences so much as her sanity... or perhaps her being able to move her face by age 35.
