Just received this e-mail:

Dear Mr. ---,

I have received a midterm eval from Professor --- stating that you have missed at least 10 classes this quarter already. Can you tell me what is preventing you from attending class?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
Dean ---

If SU doesn't require you to come to class, I wouldn't respond. If they do, you're screwed.

Well I think you're supposed to but who knows. I am confident in getting at least a B in this class anyway. This happened last quarter too with an 8:45 AM class (this class now is 9 AM) where I missed 15-20 classes but still got an A-. I'm not in any academic trouble here really but I think "they" are "concerned" for me.

I don't think any of my classes were mandatory to attend, that's strange.

Maybe they read your blog? /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Here's what I do. Don't schedule classes at times I won't show up. After my 1st quarter at school, I never had another class before 10.

dear dean -----,

I regret that my attendance for last quarter to the class in question was unsatisfactory. I had a really tough time getting cleaned up after boning your wife and still making it to class on time. I weighed out the options and decided that her old saggy box was worth a poor attendance record- she is a demon in the sack.

adulterously yours

Dear Dean ---,

Did you hear that? That's my skull!

Sincerely,

Well, I always pulled the "In addition to my 18 units, I work 40 hours a week" card. I got out of attendance requirements for virtually all of my morning classes that way.

tell them that you need to catch up on sleep from playing internet poker all night.

Ignore it. If they send you another, get back to us.

Dear Dean,

The problem is that I am hung over from the night before, and to cure this hangover I have to drink. I can't go to class drunk, that would be rude.

P.S. eat me.
