Well, hesh ka and son of a bitch.

 

Remember, kids: always check the e-mail your professors use to get in touch with you before the day grades go through.  Otherwise you’ll find out that that C you got in that one class was perfectly avoidable, because the reason it is a C is that your professor did not find the final paper, which was most of your grade, that you’re pretty damn sure you left in her box before taking off for spring break.

 

And it was the paper with blarg in it, too! I have been foiled! KHAAAAAAAN!

 

Oh, well. At least I didn’t get the paper because I wrote a bad paper. I’m more willing to accept one accident than general inadequacy for a middling grade. And I still passed the class, so even if my pathetic little e-mail today doesn't help, it'll still count.

*sigh*

 

Also, the lady in the airport in Salt Lake stiffed me $5 change for a stupid little ring I bought to make myself feel better about my low mood.

 

Dammit, I’m having a bad day.

 

ETA: Right when I hit "Post" the iPatch's shuffle decided to play "Schadenfreude" from Avenue Q ("Straight-A students getting B's!"). My iPod is a fucking jerk. I can no longer keep from laughing.

Quote of the Day

“We do not offer a folklore degree at this university.  However, we do offer a folklore certificate!  You can get it and impress people! People in marketing for MTV and Viacom.  You can show them your certificate and get a job in market research!  Then you will be a sellout. You will be scum! Please send some of the money you make back to our folklore department.”

 

Today’s quote brought to you by my maniacally hyperactive folklore professor.  I like this class already.
