Best Student Excuse EVER

I had a student tell me this week that he would have to miss class for three weeks because he had scheduled some meetings that conflicted.

The meetings were for a student panel on the Committee for Curricular Review.

He told me this without a trace of irony. When I asked him if it might not be helpful to be familiar with, you know, the curriculum in order to participate in curricular review, he just looked at me blankly.

"So, uh, what can I do to make up class?"
