"I'm Callin' Bullshit On This One..."

We are concluding the 3rd week of classes here at Alluvial Flood Plain State University... classes have much settled in... there are some "no shows" that have been reported... students who register for classes, and then don't show up...

This is an email exchange that I have had today with one...

Hey Mr. ~Shoes~,

    My name is Bull Shiznitter and I am in your ECO 211 class at 2:30 today. I play basketball for Alluvial Flood Plain State. I got entered into your class late because my coaches had to change my schedule and then we have been gone for basketball so I really havent gotten a chance to talk to you. I just wanted to make sure to let you know that I am still in your class and I will be there today. If there is anything I need to do or makeup because of the day that I was gone for basketball please email me back and let me know.

Thanks,

Bull Shiznitter

Mr ~Shoes~, I went to your class in Broom 114 at 2:30 and the door was locked. I have a class from 1-2:15 right before it and I tried to get to your class as fast as possible but my teacher let us out a little late so by the time I walked over to your classroom it was locked. What do I need to do?? I dont want to get dropped. Im willing to do whatever I have to do to pass your class this year.

Thanks, 

Bull Shiznitter

Mr. Shiznitter:

You didn’t come by BR 114 yesterday and find the door locked.  I was in the room at 2.15 preparing power point.  Furthermore, I work with the class  room door open.

You need to decide if you want to be in this class.

My records indicate you haven’t attended any classes.

You need to decide what you are going to do.

You are far behind in class.

Mr. ~Shoes~,

    I am very sorry I promise I went by your classroom and thought that the door was locked. I had planned on coming to your class yesterday, I even told my coach I would be a little late to practice because I was going to be in your class. I dont know why I thought that the door was locked if it wasnt, but I am sorry. I know that is my fault though and I do want to be in your class still. I will be there on Monday. Would you like me to come by your office to talk to you today or tomorrow before then? I will do whatever I need to do to catch up.

When I was a student, I would have contacted my profs face-to-face if I knew I was going to miss some classes early on in the semester.  I don't have a great deal of faith with people like this.  My non-athletic team students are doing great!  

So he plays basketball at a Division II school... big deal...

Bless his heart!!
