Hey guys,I wanted to devote this next post to Punctuality. This is something that should be a no-brainer, but yet there have been many that have not adhered to this basic, yet fundamental concept. Please be on time to class. If you are not able to be on time to class, then please, in the name of all that is holy, do NOT walk into the classroom after class has already started. This is very distracting, disrespectful, and unprofessional in general. Also, if one of your friends happen to be the one locked outside, do NOT let them in. This is just as disrespectful as the guy walking into class late. There is a simple solution to this, if you must be late just wait outside the classroom until the class takes a break. Then, no harm no fowl.
I guess the bottom line here is I dont really care if people are late that much. What bugs the holy bahjesus outta me is when someone walks into class 40 mins late ... with coffee in hand!!!! Come on, really?!
Don't do it folks, unless you like the feeling of 35 pairs of eyes burning a hole straight through your soul! :-) Oh and remember this old saying and you shall never be late: "If you are on-time ... you're late."
Now, I know you must be thinking to yourself, "Now M-R, have you never been late?" Honestly, yes I have. But again, the point in this is NOT to make things worse by walking into the classroom after the class has already begun as if you are some sort of V.I.P. or something.
Respect your instructers and your fellow classmates; no matter how much they get under your skin. When you get into PA school you are now a professional. Do everything you can to work on being professional.
M-R
P.S. - The picture is supposed to be a joke. I'm really not THAT insensitive...
