My students were scheduled to give oral presentations today. Most of them went quite well. Others, however...
Student: "I can't give my presentation today. Actually, I won't be ready until later this week."
Me: "Why not? We've been working on these for weeks, and you had all of Thanksgiving break to prepare."
Student: "I have a zit."

Oh my! The terrors of teenagedom! Perhaps you should keep some concealer in your desk drawer for such emergencies. :D
Sounds like a legitimate reason to me. :)
Wow. Why did he/she even come to school? With a zit, you really need to stay home and TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF before it gets worse. Is he/she seeing a doctor? Going to the hospital? Gosh, I hope he/she is okay. Please keep us all advised.
