"Who are you?"

"You last came to class on September 15. You've missed three papers, five quizzes and the midterm. No, you can't pass at this point."
"Can you sign my drop slip?"
"Add/drop period was over three weeks ago."
"Fuck, man. What am I supposed to do now?"
"Take the 'F,' and work harder when you repeat the class next semester?"
I read stuff like this and weep for the future.

ReplyDeleteAt least he didn't try to impress you with his sense of self-entitlement.
"What am I supposed to do now?"
ReplyDeleteGet a job digging ditches, or flipping burgers, or working on motorcycles, until you figure out that:

2. What exactly it is that you want to do with the rest of your life.
Any bets he won't be around next semester??? /crickets/
ReplyDeleteI think this sums it up nicely:
