Writing crisis...

Top Reasons of Students if they don't want to write in their Formal Theme:

1. "I forgot my Formal Theme booklet at home."
2. "I have no ballpen." or "My ballpen is not functioning well." or "My ballpen have no ink."
(That is right guys, blame it all to the ballpen. I hope the "ballpen" will find a way to give you a passing grade.)
3. "My hand hurts, I will just finish my Formal Theme at home."
(So, it means that when you reach home, your hands will hurt no more. Wow, I should find time to visit you at home so that my headache for having you as a student will also be gone.)
4. "My seatmate is noisy." or "My seatmate is talking to me." or "My seatmate have B.O."
(Again, it is about somebody else. Find somebody else to blame... that would give you a very high standard of reasoning. I hope it will also find you a nice job in the future... A job where you can actually be responsible for everything that's happened in your life.)
5. "I'm finish writing..."
(But when the teacher sees the "rough draft", it is a draft of a love letter addressed to his classmate... Good call guys. I hope that when the girl you are courting will become your girlfriend, she will help you pass my subject... or maybe, she is just looking for somebody to make her assignment too.)
6. SLEEPING, "I have a headache..."
(Can you believe this reason? Then if you have a headache, why don't you go out of class... go to the clinic... or much better go to the clinic to lie down... or if your headache is really that worst, go to the hospital... Then we will just see each other next year, while you are repeating the same subject with me... I hope I am not the one causing you your headache, because I can do nothing about it.)

These are just some of the reasons my students are giving me... Let me know if these reasons are really valid.
