"Would you like to stay at National YiLan University for another year?"

As title suggests, that's what I've been asked by the teachers this week. Tim was the first to make a statement similar to that. He said, "You have been absent from this class so often, you don't deserve to be with the rest of the class." , which pretty much sums up that it would be a SIN to give me a passing grade in that course.

The second teacher to make similar statement was Japanese teacher Chiu. To prepare her class for the Japanese Certification Exam Level 3 in the winter, she dedicate two nights per week help her students preview the exam using test banks from previous years. I attended the one on Tuesday, but because of my tardiness I was declined taking the practice test from the test bank. I could only review with the class. So, I attended the Wednesday evening training again. After the answers have been reviewed, Chiu spoke to me in front of the class... "Why are you here again instead of studying for the Japanese final exam!? Is there any way that you can make up your Japanese course credit in another school near your home? You are bound to stay in NIU next year if you don't have a decent grade for your final exam. Do you really love this department SO MUCH that you still want to stay?" ............

Well, there you have it. Two mandatory courses, one answer. That's code red for me...
