I know we've all been a bit distracted lately, not only from the abrupt loss of two colors from the spectrum, but all the usual school madness that occurs in June. Grades are coming in, summer sessions are about to begin, and that's an understandably stressful time.

[To say nothing of sleep loss. Rosalind certainly looks exhausted as she glowers into the camera. Behind her, chalkboards are filled with equations, and someone with a particularly clever mind might be able to spot a trend towards space and time.]

However. Let me give a few of you a piece of advice. I know several of you are in university right now, or about to graduate high school and enter into it. If you ever send a professor who failed you something like what I'm about to attach, you will not change their minds. Point in fact, they'll be even more determined to fail you. I know I certainly am, and I'm not even the one dealing with this right now.

Honestly, I preferred the bribes to this.

Damn, Professor-san, he said "respectfully."

[originallutece]

Oh, well, never mind, let me just pass him with flying colors.

[But actually, there's something a bit more interesting to focus on there.]

"Professor-san?"

[seeker]

[with the facial expression of someone trying not to laugh, here's Alison.]

...You've got to admit that's kind of funny.

[originallutece]

I most certainly do not. It might be funny if it was a joke, but they sent it to me completely earnestly.

[mercurio]

That... wasn't me, right?

[of course it wasn't. rosalind isn't even your professor, tool.]

[originallutece]

[It absolutely wasn't, and yet--]

And here I was trying to spare your feelings.

[crushcard]

How far the plebeians have fallen to resort to such uncouth methods of communication.

[originallutece]

[Okay, on the one hand, what are you, Kaiba, a Shakespeare villain?

On the other hand: yes. Yes? YES.]

I don't even know what it's supposed to express. Disappointment? Irritation? Pleading?

[crudest]

So I take it that you don't plan on being a "bruh" here.

[baren's a shit student but he at least doesn't contest his grades since it's his own damn fault for not going to class but also

this shit's just funny]

[originallutece]

I'm sure I don't know what that would even entail.

[daemonized]

Bruh.

[That's it, that's his response.]

[originallutece]

I'm going to make sure he takes your class next.

[insantafe]

So if I bring you a good bottle of wine or something, you'll give me a passing grade?

[ clearly that's the important part of this post. ]

[originallutece]

No, but I'll hate you less than if you sent me an email like this.

[b0mbshell]

When I was in college I probably wouldn't be expecting my professor to pass me at that point I'd send something like that. I would be surprised if they were.

That said I passed all my classes with flying colors and might have still sent a professor something like that.

[originallutece]

Why? At least you wouldn't have expected anything out of it, but honestly, I don't see the point of something like this.

[antagonize]

Any ideas what they were trying to achieve there?

[BRUH.]

[originallutece]

[BRUH]

I haven't the faintest idea. Possibly they wanted me to reconsider. Possibly they just wanted to express their displeasure.

Possibly they were high, and thought it was a good idea.

[manolia]

[Trying his damndest not to laugh:] Oh, that's uh, nicer than I usually get. I had to avoid my office after I put in grades one year, lest I get ambushed by the groveling masses.

But we all had those moments in grad school, so I can't really blame the guy.

[originallutece]

I can.

[NO MERCY]

What is it you teach, then?

[notyourutopian]

Maybe he was just referring to you with the greatest form of reverence his people have.

You are an honorary Bro now.

[originallutece]

Good god. I think I'd rather die, that sounds terrible.

[foretellable]

That's pretty lame of them to do. If they had to talk about their grades, wouldn't it have been better to talk about it to the teach face-to-face?

That shows you're kinda putting effort in wanting to get better in the class or something something education and industriousness.

[originallutece]

Yes, but you see, that would be too much effort. And if they weren't willing to put in the effort during the semester, they're not going to post-semester.

And I suspect they knew I'd fail them regardless. I'm not known for charity.

[parodeity]

what kinda bribes do you usually get
like whats the one that ALMOST worked the most
(almost being even fractionally more than any other here)

[originallutece]

I suppose the wine and cheese assortment was nice. Ridiculously expensive, and of course I returned it, but on the list of bribes, that was the best.

Ah, no, there was also a gift certificate to the spa. $125.

[browbeater]

solid argument.

and they were very respectful too.

[originallutece]

Were they, though?

[roseblooms]

I'm in agony that I know exactly who this is yet for confidentiality reasons I cannot interject with an outburst of their name in a moment of profound and all-encompassing frustration.

[originallutece]

It's not as if any administration would see it here.

[No, no, that's not real advice.]

And just think: he may well retake the class this summer.

[gnasher]

If they learned nothing else, they learned respect?

Or... brevity, maybe?

[originallutece]

Or the knowledge that you oughtn't mess around with people who control your future and fate.

Heading to college soon, are we?
