I need some serious de-stressing, though.
Like, ice cream, a long hot shower and a massage kind of de-stressing.
I can’t wait for my day off this week.
Well, not completely, cause I can still keep up with all the lovely people I’m following.
But for me, it’s not what it used to be. It’s supposed to be my outlet, where I can express stuff I wouldn’t really put anywhere else online, but I feel like I can’t do that now. It’s become a bunch of things I’ve reblogged from other people that I like, and pictures of myself, and random updates about silly things that really don’t matter all that much.
I can’t stand it.
It was in the sent folder of my UofT webmail that I NEVER use. I don’t know what possessed me to check it today, but I found this awesome e-mail…
Dear Professor Hirayama,
First of all, I don’t understand why it’s such a big deal that I use
my hotmail account as opposed to my utoronto account, because it’s
still a legitimate e-mail account and I can still contact you (which
is the important thing), but if you’re going to be so picky about it,
fine, I’m using my utoronto account to contact you from now on.
Secondly, I DID e-mail you to let you know that I missed the quiz due to the fact that I have a FRACTURED RIB and my medication DOES NOT allow me to go out ANYWHERE. That means I CAN’T, while on my medication, go to class or even work. The only time I am able to do so is if I am feeling okay, which, since I have fractured my rib, has really not happened.
Thirdly, I’m really and truly sorry if you find anything that I have
said or done to you offensive, and I really have not meant to offend
you in any way, but I honestly don’t see what I possibly could have
said/done that could be considered offensive. Please explain to me
where you are coming from in regards to this. I would like to correct
this in order to prevent it from happening again.
Fourthly, I myself am quite offended that you cannot understand where I am coming from here. Yes, I understand that a lot of this is
university policy, but considering the circumstances, you must be able to make some sort of an exception. I am trying my hardest here, but is it diffuclt for me, due to my current physical condition and the fact that the doctor I saw at the hospital is not my personal physician and simply cannot get back to me in the short amount of time you have allotted me to get those forms to you.
I would like to thank you for the exceptions I am sure you are already making on my behalf, but I would please ask for you to understand where I am coming from here and how difficult this is for me. I am sincerely sorry for any inconvenience I have been and I honestly did not mean for any of this to happen, but I think you understand that fracturing a rib is something that is definitely beyond anyone’s control.
I will try my hardest to contact the doctor I saw at the hospital and
my own personal physician, and I will let you know when I CAN get the proper forms to you, if you will still accept them.
Thank-you again,
Erin Douglas.
Long story short, I broke a few ribs in an incident at work and missed a quiz for one of my classes. My prof was being difficult in regards to me making up for the missed quiz and being that I was either in pain or on Percocets, I wasn’t very patient with her…
Very little I’ve done today has turned out right or exactly the way it should have and I’m taking it badly.
I have an interview at The Keg at six, and I’m pretty worried about it.
But at the same time, SOMETHING has to be okay today, doesn’t it?
I got a shitty mark back on my Archaeology paper that I worked so hard on.
Now I have to make an appeal to my professor because my TA is such a twat. I don’t think she marked it fairly but I have no way of knowing because there are so few actual markings on the paper.
I am frustrated. These last two weeks of school are going to be stressful…
