A Student Who Never Looks Ahead Far Enough

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.

After four experiments, finally my Energy Conversion lab class ran out of experiments again for which the supply room had available equipment they could use.

So, instead, for the period, I told them about the possible facilitated exhibits they could have for the Foundation Day celebration at the end of July.

I had two lab classes of three and four groups each, so they could occupy seven out of the eight tables in the two engineering lab rooms. In fact, for my earlier class, it contains the same students at the next one, only with the addition of the engineering fourth year regular students to the irregulars.

I believe it was a testament to how interesting the displays were that even the college students themselves had a lot of fun with the hands-on demonstrations.

@@ In other news, two-time student council ambitious JJ is up to his old tricks again.

Three years ago he ran for SC vice president and lost. Two years ago he ran for one of the commissioner positions, and a few days before the deadline of filing, he “borrowed” his bio-data from the previous year, which I thought he was going to revise, but in the end he just re-submitted.

That is, until the documents were posted for the voters to see. Then he volunteered to help put them up, only to replace his bio-data with an updated one, which is a clear tampering with Election of Commission submissions, so it was taken down.

He only complained about it to the Office of Student Activities secretary though, not to the ELECOM itself.

The next day all officially submitted documents had the OSA stamp and signature, so he went directly to the OSA director, had his new bio-data signed and put it up there himself.

Again, since it was not an ELECOM submission at the time of the deadline, it was taken down again.

Now, for his practicum, he wants his bio-data again from the ELECOM, because it is beyond the scope of his meager sense of responsibility to keep a soft copy of this important document, just as it wasn’t two years ago. So what will happen to him if we aren’t here for him to rely on to recall his past “achievements”?

Session 1689 never did think of what things he has to keep that are important for his future. Class dismissed.
