Ingredients: anger, joys, despair, futility, smiles, tears, bad language, humor, sarcasm, dread, delight and everything else entailed in teaching Core Curriculum to the wondrously irresponsible undergrad entitlement generation we have in U.S. colleges today (or at least in huge-ass universities like mine whose only care is football).

This one will be mild.
Basically just sitting here dreading answering a student email. They know we have a stinking absence policy and I know I'm justified invoking it since it has been posted myriad places since Day Friggin' One of the semester, but this kid has just asked for an update and I counted and he is most decidedly past the "Failure due to Absence" drop-off. So gosh I'm really looking forward to the resultant whining or outright confrontation once I write him back with the bad news that he should WAKE THE HELL UP AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TWO FUCKING SECONDS. Of course I won't be able to write it like that..... All caps looks really weird in our campus email textblocks.
