I see he has risen to the occasion.

What in tarnation is Bleeb weilding?

Talk about higher education!

Come sweep my floor, Bleeb.

That must have been a very UPLIFTING experience for the admissions director.;-D

key word in that phrase?…psycho…..

He got the psycho part right anyway.

If you had that power you wouldn’t need a degree.

My Super Friends may want to meet with you as well.

A wise choice.

That should be ‘telekinesis.’

But she is flirting with the nicname “Carrie.”

“Sorry Ms. Bokan, you can levitate me all you want, but since you obviously don’t know the difference between “telekinesis” and “psychokinesis”, I can’t give you the credits, but I… but I… but I… will somehow see that you get those credits, and I… I… I… also want to… wash your car… and fetch… you… a Starbucks Latte!”

Ms Bokan is a very uplifting person. And there’s no way I am telling her anything other than that!

All of you who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.

With powers like that you don’t need some worthless degree.

Good Will Hunting meets Bleeb, the rest is history.

Bleeb looks so tiny today. Has Steve Martin been here???? :)

What credit can I get for pyrokinesis?

The real question is, is Ms. Bokan a Jedi Knight, or a Sith Lord?

Of course you still have the required courses, which would have got you the degree without the 3 credits.

It takes a lot to get a rise out of him.

Hogwart’s College Transferee applicant…….

If she can do that, I’d say she’s graduated.

I don’ need no stinkin’ degree.

Bleeb’s helping out by sweeping the floor. I know the feeling; back in late 1980s I had a summer job as a custodian in the local Montgomery Ward with my main job being cleaning the floors before the store opened. To this day when I see a scuff mark on a floor I stop and rub it out with my foot.

Now that’s how an X-Man could make the best use of their powers when advancing their education … ;)
