Undergrad: Hi, Dr. R. You didn't call my name. My name is Undergrad.
UR: Right. I emailed you and your advisor back. You didn't make the GPA cutoff.
Undergrad: Yeah, I know, but I thought if I came anyway, you'd sign my add form.

First day conversation
UR: Okay, so I will see you all next time. Don't forget to come up and talk to me if your name wasn't called from the roster.
Undergrad: Hi, Dr. R. You didn't call my name. My name is Undergrad.
UR: Right. I emailed you and your advisor back. You didn't make the GPA cutoff.
Undergrad: Yeah, I know, but I thought if I came anyway, you'd sign my add form.
UR: Erm, good effort. But no. You should leave now.

Points for perseverance?
You know what's coming next, don't you?
"I thought that if I just came to the lectures anyway, you might let me take the exam"
Unbelievable!
You have to admire the determination though, maybe you'd have to resort to putting a photo at the door saying "not allowed".
Muuuwwwwaaahahahahahah
Yes, the wonderful world of student thought processing begins again.
Welcome to Spring 2009.
At least they showed some initiative... sigh, students! At least they give us something to be baffled by!
I still find it interesting that it is the hope thing... and that some of them think that the cut off is "general and not applying to me".
Ah well, I have to be honest and admit that I don't know how much the GPA cut off means now but still, I find the whole "maybe I can get in anyway" a bit annoying since some people don't look f or loop holes and I don't nec think they should get punished for trying to adhere to the rules. (if there are such things I mean)
ah, ha, ha
I think I've gotten the message across to Undergrad. They didn't show up to Lecture #2.
Success?
Stomping on the students! Lalalalala! Stomping on the students and crus-hing all their dreamssssss. I haven't thought of the rest of the words to UB's new anthem yet - let me get back to you later.
