Student Excuses: I Dare You to Top This!

[NJCher]

It is within three weeks of the end of the semester and the student excuses are rolling in. My experience is that they get more and more creative as we count down to finals week. So far this guy is in the lead!

Note: you will love the spelling!


Dear professor K___,

I haven't been in class for some time not of my own free

will. Let me tell you the story. I was walking my dog on

saturdya night, the night is the only time when I am free

to do this, and it started raining out of nowhere. I took my

shirt off in this now wet 19 degree environment and put it

on my dog to try and keep him warm and dry. I walked

the 13 long blocks back to my house, (there's a bike

path I take when I walk my dog that is 29 blocks long on

a rugged terrain, i figure if he can't do his business in

that amount of time, then he never will do it in the

house,) but I moved slower because I was carrying my

dog. You can probably guess what happened, I got

really sick. When I went to the doctor, I found out that I

had lyranjitus, broncitus, and symptoms of amonia. The

doctor didn't want me developing amonia, because that

would be a long term treatment process. I was

hospitalized that monday before thanksgiving and part of

tuesday. I was on medication that had me sleeping 18+

hours a day. I had a horrible thanksgiving, I couldn't eat

anything, and I couldn't even go shopping. I couldn't

leave my room, unless i had to go to the bathroom,

which i needed help opening and closing door. I was

extremely waek and vulnerable in my state, and couldn't

do anything. I am feeling better now, and am almost

done with my medication. I won't be in class on this

coming tuesday because i need to go to the doctor for

hopefully my last checkup, or what i like to call it,

interogation. I know i missed my presentation dates, and

ther's nothing i could do to make up those grades, but if i

could do any extra work, or anything, to give me a

passing grade, just let me know.
thanks for listening and caring, and for being such a

good teacher,
sincerely, J___ O___

Ummm, it doesn't rain at 19 degrees, it freezes. I'm a professor, remember?
