Priorities

The student who will miss a week of classes, including the calculus exam, for a trip to New York for a "retail class" emailed me last night.

Stu has a chronic medical condition that has been causing some serious symptoms. Stu is in another state (where Stu's mom lives) at the moment receiving treatment in the hospital. Stu has missed every class this week because of this medical situation.

That's why Stu hasn't yet brought me the paperwork from the retail professor about this class trip to New York. The trip that departs tomorrow.

Stu's new plan is to bring me the paperwork after returning from New York.

Good luck with that make-up exam, Stu! It says on the syllabus that the make-up can be harder than the regular exam!
