Wake up Mr. West!

On Thursdays and Fridays, my law school section has an 8 a.m. class. It's the only one we have all week, but I've noticed a trend. On Fridays earlier in the semester, a couple students would straggle in late. Once a rather bleary-eyed, scratchy-faced student trudged in an hour after class began. One of the legal fraternities sponsors a weekly after-hours at a different local tavern on Thursday nights. It's pretty popular among law students. Seems to have an effect...
But now the trend of blowing off the subsequent morning class is picking up speed. This Friday, half a dozen students didn't bother to show up. Because the professor teaches the same class later in the morning, several students have taken to showing up to that one instead.
I sort of have to chuckle to myself when observing the hibernation habits of the recent undergraduate. You just can't get away with rolling in whenever you want in the "real world." And there aren't make-up work days. Oh well. They'll figure it out...
