Friday was the 2008 Phi Beta Lambda State Leadership Conference. Wake Tech had 38 students competing.
I was taking the test for Accounting Analysis and Decision Making. Two of my classmates, Super Smart Guy and Former Navy Guy, took the Accounting Principles test. That would have been my choice as well, but each school can only have two people in a particular test.
Out of the 38 who competed, 36 of us placed in our respective events. I placed sixth (my first question was “Out of how many?” but I’m told there were at least ten). Former Navy Guy placed fifth, and Super Smart Guy placed first. He’ll go on to compete in the national competition.
Naturally the instructors at Wake Tech are tickled pink, as this reflects quite well on them. The accounting department head was practically skipping to class today.

Angry Profressor related an e-mail she got yesterday—seems the young man missed a class, and wants to schedule a meeting so she can go over everything he missed with him. He’s free evenings and weekends.
I missed a class last Friday because I had some kind of stomach bug. I e-mailed another student to get the assignments, worked them over the weekend, and went to see the instructor yesterday during his office hours to go over the problems I’d had trouble with.
Clearly I need a much larger sense of entitlement.
