Give me strength.

Since I got back from taking the written part of my comprehensive exams I have been madly doing tons of laundry (including the drapes) because of all of the CO2 residue all over my apt. It is after midnight & I still have 2 loads of clothes to go & I have been ironing these damn curtains for like an hour. I take a little break to blog & then I check my Faculty email. I hope you are sitting down (in the days of the iPad, you never know...)

Here is the subject line:
"concerning my absentance on jueves el ocho del abril del dos mil y diez y uno.(april 8 2011)"
Followed by:

haha i totally don't know the how to say :concerning my absentance (YES! TWICE!!) on , in spainsh (I think this means Spanish). well, my major is fine arts (as opposed to, say, Spelling??) and friday (Capital F) we had a field trip in the french quater (French Quarter, I think). I have a note for you , but its says till 1:30 but by the time i got to school i  missed your class. I have a hard copy too but this is what the note said:

Followed by some note I won't bore you with here.

So thats the note.. I understand if you do not accept it being that i forgot to get this before (you can figure out Underline but not Capitalize??) the field trip, but i did think i was going to make it to class.

sorry for missing class and making you read all of this.

I posted back a little missive with a subject line of  "........................."

Hola D....
Regarding your ABSENCE on el jueves el ocho de abril de dos mil ONCE, I will need a hard copy signed by Professor A. or an email directly from him/her.

Hasta pronto

I feel bad for using Spanglish but this was about as civil as I could be after inhaling this damn spray starch....
