Yeah, that's how I did on my algebra midterm, except minus all the studying. SO STRESSFUL! Are you at least finished for the semester?

Good God, I loathed that man. I really don't hate people, but I hated him. When I wrote him an email to tell him that I wouldn't make it to class because my Dad had just called to tell me my Grandma was in the ER (in Illinois), dying, he responded, "Well, can't you come to class anyway? I'll even let you answer your phone!" By the time I received that gracious offer, my Grandma had died, and I was scrambling to figure out how to get home to be with my family, who were hundreds of miles away. I simply replied, "I will be out for a few days. I will make up the work when I return." He was the only faculty member who couldn't be bothered to express the smallest bit of sympathy when I returned (everyone else was really nice and supportive while I scrambled to catch up--did I mention this was only about a month into the program?!). Sorry for the hate spewing, especially if you didn't have Hopper. Just the mere thought of grammar makes the hate rise again. I hope your final went better than you expect, and that you get a couple of strong drinks in you to help you recover. Grammar? With Hopper? Good God, I loathed that man.
