Yay for showing the prof, VW!
Fingers crossed for Aimee!
Kristin, I really doubt I would've argued an english grade either.
I just assume rules are rules and the person wouldn't have instituted the rule unless they meant to enforce it.
This is me! I follow the rules. I like other people to follow the rules. The ones I break tend to be more of a "well, if no one will find out and it's really not hurting anyone..." (like if there was an attendance rule for a large lecture class or something, not like, cheating on an exam)
Or you could, you know, hold your breath for a month!
Craziness. There's a healthcare system rant in here.
Random: what's the noun form of "pedantic?" I could look it up but I'm lazy.
Prof feels like SHIT for making me come in.
Good.
On the part where he asked questions, and we had to answer them, he had to repeat them exta times because of my coughing fits.
Good again!
she was BEYOND livid that my prof made me come to campus and take the exam. She's like, "What is his name? I'm calling the department head to register a complaint." I was all, "No, he feels pretty shitty. I'll deal with it."
You should totally let her do that for you. I mean it. I don't care that the prof feels shitty about it; he'd feel shittier if your lungs collapsed and you DIED while you were taking the exam.
I wonder if anyone's used 'pedantry' in a personals ad...
I like long walks along the beach, sleeping in late on Sunday and pedantry.
Poor vw! I hope you start feeling better quickly.
It was an eye opener for me to find that to get the best care, S and I need to be on top of her care, know her diagnosis and what the treatment options are.

That could be fun!

Yeah. I can't really complain too much. Medicare and MassHealth have taken very good care of me, but some times the bureaucracy is insane-o-making.

If I had really thought that was going to happen, I wouldn't have gone. I'd have gone above his head with a note from the hospital and my doctor. I'm fine. It's fine. I'm just crabby about the whole thing.
S and I need to be on top of her care, know her diagnosis and what the treatment options are.
It's so true! Especially when you have to be seen by mulitple doctors...even more so if you have to visit the ER or urgent care centers. 30 seconds is NOT enough time to get to know someone like me or S. You've got to be your own self-advocate, which is SO hard when you feel like shit.

Buffista.
You know, I almost said that, but refrained.
