retrospec | (no subject)

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.

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.

I've used "he" the rest of this post; that ship has sailed, my dear Fawkes.

[--wait.]

Are you sassing me?

WhyEVER would you think that, my good Professor?

I'm going to force you to deal with him if he comes down to complain or appeal.

Weren't you going to do that anyway?

Yes, but before that was because you were my assistant. Now it's because you're being cheeky. This is a punishment, and you're to treat it as such.

And if I fail to treat it as such?

I suppose you'll have to wait and see what happens, won't you? Though I warn you, it shan't be pleasant.

Making threats isn't very appropriate conduct for a professor, is it?

Have I ever mentioned wanting to win professor of the year? Besides, you've had six months to complain about my threats, and you never have before now. Don't do it just because you can't think of a good comeback.
