I learn em' the Engrish

An email from a student two nights ago explained that he "wanted to try out for an upcoming show on CMT" so could I "allow him to take his exam early?" I said yes, because all of my later exam students were allowed to come to the afternoon exam if they so chose. It doesn't really matter to me.

He responded, "okay, i will have to ask my people. let me check my schedule and get back with you." This illustrates two issues that I have with college students: 1. They assume I give a damn whether or not they show up for the exam, much less, at all. 2. If you are writing to your ENGLISH professor, don't you think it would behoove you to use proper punctuation/capitalization/salutations, etc. Often they will write an email without signing it, and all I know is that it came from "balls_deep69@gmail.com," which could be John or Chris or Kel or LeDarrius or... you get my drift.

After our future reality tv star got back from his audition in Nashville, he wrote me an email at 3:04 am this morning. It said, "thanks you for letting me take the exam early. my audition went good. lets hope u will c me on cmt soon. this was the most fun time of all the time ive taken this course."

Because I don't even know the name of the show for which he auditioned, the Bunny said, "What the fuck? Does he expect that you will turn on CMT and keep it rolling until you see his face?"

I'm waiting with bated breath.
