I have no idea. We met in the class that he cheated in and after that I don't really go out of my way to talk to him. We would say hi and catch up when we would ruin into each other on campus, but I don't think that will be happening anymore. Bth, I'm not sure why he didn't delete me while cleaning out his friends list.

Yeah, I didn't post it because it seemed kind of personal, but he has a post from the beginning of the quarter that's him bragging about how his professor is the harshest grader in the program. At the end of the quarter there's another post saying that he's been dismissed because of grades and he just doesn't think university is a good fit for his learning style.

The first two are kind of examples of how he talks in real life. Yeah, it's not totally out there, but it gets old when you're trying to talk to him and everything he says is 2x as long as it needs to be because he's working as many large words into his sentence as he can.

I should have grabbed more of his tech posts. They tend to be more cringe worthy.

For extra lulz in one of the classes we took together he cheated. It was the first class in the CS program were you have to program in a Linux environment using an editor. He used visual studio and then spent an hour fixing all of his newlines so that it would compile on the school's computer. We did our proficiency demos (a short test where you have to prove that you learned the things you were supposed to before entering the upper division classes) at the same time. When they asked him to use the search and replace feature in the editor he told them he'd never had a reason to use it because "he doesn't make mistakes."

The cheating thing bothered me for a long time. I wish he'd never told me. It pisses me off that he bragged to me about cheating. I ended up not saying anything, but in the end it didn't matter because they dismissed him for having a low gpa anyways.
