Hellooo,
As hopefully you fellow readers have caught on it is Finals. I will now let you in on a little secret, this has been the WORST SEMESTER EVER. Yes, I have dug myself a hole and just can't get myself out of it. That being said I just realized I'm going to have a C in psychology A CEEE what the heck. That's an A+ class what's wrong with me. Anyways, why I'm telling yall this is because of the lovely e mail to my psychology teacher begging for a B basically and I hope maybe everyone can get some humor out of it (and pray that she gets some humor and has a soul to help me out as well)
This e mail is 100% true I did not BS this one bit:
Howdy,
It is that time again for finals, when every student calculates their grades and suddenly goes "oh my gosh that is so not what I wanted". Sadly, I am one of those students and I now get to bug you *I apologize for this because I know you are sick and I really hope you are getting better*. Anyways I have done the math and I need 100 (yes a perfect score) on this test in order to get a 79.5, which is I'm hoping a B? I'm not sure if you round up.
Now, before you realize that, wow I really am not the brightest color in the box, I digress, I was blessed this semester with having all four of my classes with their test in the same week, yours being the very last when I was at my wits end and only studying that morning to be honest, but sadly as hard as I tried, with reading before hand and coming to class I could never grasp as much information to the equivalent of a couple days of studying does. Accounting 229 is the most awful course of all time, (I think I'd rather take statistics and be a psychologist truthfully) and I just really couldn't figure out how to prioritize not failing this business class without all of my other courses suffering.
Now time for some sucking up, (but 100% true I swear) YOU are my favorite college professor of my college career I absolutely loved your class and your teaching was not the reason for my poor test scores, I take all the blame for those horrible numbers, I realize you have made this course as straight forward and as easy and interesting as possible for me and in no way is this your fault or problem it's all mine. I was just hoping in some way or how if I do pull out with a big 1-0-0 on this test that I will be able to get that big B- that I was hoping for. Also when we went to your thursday class with the wall flowers v. the loud mouths game/review you mentioned we would get extra credit or something, don't know if this played out or not so I also was wondering about that.
Now that you have read all about my sob story (sorry you couldn't enjoy this in person but since your ill I didn't think you'd be available) I guess I was just asking if there's was anything else I could possibly do to woo you, or that if I get a 100 that I'm golden for a B etc. Thanks for your time hope your feeling better see you bright and early Wednesday *oh PS my horrible accounting final? right after your final, WOOP.
Happy almost holidays/finals
& thanks for your time!
