diarrhea boy

how could you NOT love a note like this!

This is a classic note, and the best possible excuse for missing my class.

Since I have 300 students, and I only see each one of them once a week, it is necessary for me to come up with creative ways to remember their names.

Andy, is Mongolian class 3 is easy. He is known to me now as Diarrhea boy. I can't help but smile when I see him.

Other students are not so infamously known as Andy, but they have their own quirky ways of catching my attention.

Jessican is the girl with a nose ring, the only "individualist" whom the other students punish for acting different.

Annie, is the chubby Freshman girl who carries a stuffed animal wolf wearing sheep's clothing, and looks as if she's 12 years old.

Helen is the unhappy girlfriend of Jack, who wishes to study Chinese medicine, but her father made her study English because he thinks math is too hard for girls.

Rita is the go-getter, Tracy and Gloria are boy crazy, and Vicky is the Freshman who stalks me on my walks home asking me questions about Christmas.

In a few weeks I hope to have funny ways to remember ALL 300 of their names.
