A perfect morning is in the works...

A certain professor is seriously the most difficult person in the world. That's putting it nicely. I'm registered for a one-credit, non-graded "no pressure" Greek reading group. He is directing it. I'm actually the only one taking it for credit of the four of us. Apparently I did a bad thing last night by not going to my NON GRADED class and not telling him. He sent me an e-mail this morning "Hi Angela. We missed you in Greek reading group last night." You have to know him to feel the sarcasm. Then he stops me as I'm coming into the building to tell me that missing class is "unacceptable" and that he's going to the DGS to ask him whether or not I am required to attend. Well, obviously I should be attending a class I am registered for. But does missing one class warrant administrative consultation? Serisouly? I had more important things to do. I'm behind in my Plato reading, as well as having a paper topic due in that same class today. Pardon me for managing my time as best I can and staying home last night to do work I AM ACTUALLY BEING GRADED ON.

I keep trying to tell myself that I will eventually settle in here and all will be well. Then Thursdays happen. I seriously think Thursday is my worst day ever. (Judging from the past 2, anyway). I seriously want to cry, even though I know that this minor mishap does not warrant a crying fit. But such is my current emotional state.

Hun, you will settle in. (The only reason I haven't adjusted is that I don't know anyone in Indiana other than Eric, who lives an hour south.) You need to ask your professor with whom he talked at DGS about you missing that class. Then, speak with that person and explain your reasoning for missing the class and the fact that the class is ungraded and "no pressure." Missing one class does not warrant elevation to DGS, in my opinion.
