There are two types of people I do not understand; people who come late for class everyday and people who do not come to class at all.

Since I have talked about late comers, today I am going to elaborate about people who do not come to class.

Now, please differentiate people who absent themselves out of no particular reason at all with them who actually have a valid, reasonable and forgiveable excuse (I am generous enough to include going on a holiday in Bali for one whole week as REASONABLE *winks*). I am picking on people type one. You see, I cannot be bothered if you come to class or not. It does not affect me whether or not you attend because it is not my future that is being jeopardised now. But if you do not attend class and subsequently ask me what did the lecturer taught, I will be annoyed.

I can easily tell you the truth or mislead you. I can even choose not to tell you. Those are at my liberty. But what I do not grasp is that if you wanted to know, why did you not come?

I have a classmate who asked me for notes because I have not seen him in class for almost a month. I have another classmate asking me what is the scope of the exam for Land Law. I have a classmate who never attend class more than ten times in three months, borrowed a book from a friend and never took the initiative to return it. Really, if you want to know, come to class. Is it really difficult? I know for sure their absence is not due to some family member died or being mulled by a cat or anything significant. I just do not understand. I CANNOT understand!

A little addition which is slightly off the topic; there are some classmates I am not particularly close with or even talk to very much. Then out of nowhere, they will come and try sucking information out of me. Another type of people is them who have something that they need help with then only will they turn to me. Otherwise, I do not think they will even remember my existence. Some even left without as much as a thank you. Using me much?

However, I shall tolerate just this once. I will lend my notes to the classmate and tell the other what is coming out for exam (really! I can just mislead him and he would not know because he never comes to class. Then he'll fail and I have one less competitor. I can do that. Very easily).

You not coming to class is not our problem. I pray you do not make it our problem.
