Classes

[x_medusa]

I discovered yesterday that professors do not take kindly to extended absences from classes, even when one completes all the work assigned and has been performing at a higher level than one's classmates since the start of the term. Apparently, the lecture where the professor drones on about the topic in a repetitive and boring fashion is a vital component of the college experience and one that should not be missed, no matter the important events taking place elsewhere in the world. Wanda, any chance you will be substituting again in the near future? Or perhaps I should schedule an opportunity to discuss languages with the young man you were telling me about before I decide to lower my standards to those imposed in my class.

Also, I realize I never properly thanked either Terry or Kurt for submitting my midterm project. Please let me know when you are free for dinner.

Tell me about it. Most of my professors were appeased by the nice letter of confirmation from Dr. McCoy - it seems that taking a leave from classes to study with a Nobel candidate gets you a bit of leeway. Unfortunately, Professor Gottson in my European Literature class isn't quite as understanding. Ah, the perils of academia.

Professors haven't changed much, it seems. I can remember them being oh-so-very not understanding of absences twenty years ago, too. Of course, I could never say why I needed to run off to South America or the USSR, which always rather hurt my case.

This is why going to fake college is the best.

Take Kurt. I have to run off for a few days. (I'm missing classes too but I came up with excuses that my professors actually bought.)

I, being the young man in question, am at your service.
