One classmate left for health reasons--they developed a severe case of carpal tunnel syndrome. So severe that they had to attempt drilling with their left hand, even though they are right-handed. This person was in excellent academic standing.
The other one (Dinonuggets) left for personal reasons and is preparing to go to school elsewhere. For this person the atmosphere was a little bit too non-traditional. This person did well in the program, however, and was in good academic standing and was elected to be a class officer.
Both of them were unique individuals and our class is a little more bland without them. I have no doubt that each of them will be very successful in their future endeavors.
Nobody failed the year, which is always good news. 😀
kato999 and Dr. Nubbs, care to post any more on this subject? You guys may have perspectives that I don't have.
