I sent Flat Logan UPSP to some friends in Orkney who offered to help
out Logan with his project. The teacher extended the deadline like
three times, and the last day is this coming Friday. Aside from
International Next-Day service, there is no way to get it back in
time, so Logan will end up with an "incomplete" for this project. I
am sad for him because he really wanted to be the kid who sent their
Flat Person the furthest distance, but sometimes these things happen.
It's hard on him to get a poor grade because he usually does very
well. This morning I was going through his papers and tears started
to well up about some "C" grades he'd gotten and he started making
excuses telling me why... I told him not to sweat it. We counted up
all the A's and B's and there were over twenty of them (mostly A's!)
and I told him it couldn't be enough to affect his final grade and he
would still get an A. I just hope the failed Flat Logan project
doesn't bring it down too much, but I fear it might---even a bad grade
is better than no grade at all.
