 “I always appreciate an excuse from a student that I haven't heard before because they are so crazy they have to be true. I once had a student borrow a Post-It Note poster pad for a class presentation. He came to me later and confessed that he could not return it because his roommate had been drinking and when my student suggested slowing down, the roommate sped up in protest, got sick, and puked all over it. He didn't think I would want it back (which I agreed!) and he offered to buy me a new one. I told him that the story alone was worth the replacement cost!”

 “A student emailed me to tell me he was type 1 diabetic and he was having a really hard time managing his sugar that day and felt terrible. Fine, totally excusable. But he sent me a picture of the pee strip to prove his ketones were low!”
