I will not be in class today as I had a long night at work. I have booked off the rest this week off to take some stress off. I will be more efficient with my time.

Miss _________! Is there any way I could write the repro. test Thursday second block? I got ho-ho's today and I think it gave me food poisoning or something 'cause I've been throwing up for a couple hours now. Unless I feel exponentially better come morning, I won't be making it to class. I promise I studied though! I have the written notes in my scribbler + highlighting to prove it. I'M NOT SKIPPING, SO DON'T BEAK ME FOR IT. Hope you sleep well while I'm being a disgusting mess! Goodnight!

One of my students missed her unit exam because she fell asleep with her earbud style headphones on.  When she woke up, the foam padding was stuck in her ear.  She asked her mom to help get it out, and her mom pushed it all the way into her ear canal.  When she showed up today, she said the foam piece was still in there.  I didn't ask to look.
