UPDATE! Who's surprised?

Back in August I mentioned a student who had outed himself as someone who might not be one to put much effort into the class. I'm not saying that I pulled a Nostradamus here, but I'd just like to say that my prediction was correct. He received a 'D' in the class. Vegas would not have been giving odds on that one.

FYI

I'm not sure that there could be a more perfect story than Twilight. Sure, I understand the criticisms that the book is not the most well-written. But still. It's not the language that makes the book (although it's not as awful as some say); it's the story and the characters. Hoo boy, I love me some vampire/human love.

And, yes, I am over the age of 13.

The end of the semester is always fruitful

Student sends me this e-mail over the weekend:

"I was wondering if you could tell me what grades I received on the paper and journal article review."

Um, the student didn't turn in either of these assignments. I just really wonder what's going through her head before/during/after sending that e-mail. Did she honestly forget that she didn't turn those in? Or is she really thinking that sending that e-mail will imply that she turned in the assignments and it's my error that I don't have them in my possession? Given that she was absent on the day the latter assignment was due, I'm not sure her trickery would get very far with me.
