I would have given you the extension too Allyson, but I'm fairly liberal with extensions. My rule is the student should ask before the paper is due, and they only get one freebie, the rest come with a grade deduction (but a lesser one than a late paper).

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
This is pathetic, but I really want to go into the Barnes & Noble in Pasadena and just stare at the book.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
The one thing I did in college which was sort of entitled was look at all my assignments ahead of time, and sometimes asked my non-theatre professors to cut me a break during tech week if the assignment could not for some reason be completed ahead of time. I think the reason they so often did it was that I asked in, say, September if it would be possible to turn in something early or late or if I could get some of the material ahead of time to allow me to complete the assignment.

Dude, it's not pathetic. Take your camera!

Um, if I had a book out, I'd be very tempted to take a picture of it the first place I saw it shelved for sale.
honest to goodness, that was a xpost.

I also remember really being surprised when my hardcore history professor, who actually docked you a plus or minus on your final grade for any absence for any reason without a doctor's note let things slide when I missed class because the brakes failed on my car and I almost got into an accident and was towed to a car shop. I was trying to get the car shop people to drive me to class, and I called the professor and he told me not to worry about it!

Seriously don't know how you've restrained yourself this long!
I had the largest, most delicious salad in all of Christendom for lunch. From the Whole Foods that I walked to! Along the waterfront. Nice!
My boyfriend in college was the worst for scamming his way into extensions and such. It wasn't so much an entitlement thing as a working the system thing.

Dude, I had thought about taking a picture when I went in to pick up my copy tonight!
A little staring would NOT be out of place, paperdol.

Grrr. The BU Barnes and Noble doesn't let you search for any books but textbooks. I get a discount there, but I don't necessarily want to haul myself all the way to Kenmore Square. The Pru has it, and it's a bit closer to work.
