The system is no longer fucked
It's happy dance time!!
Even though my English grade might be a B, there is a good chance that the History grade might be an A!!Here is the following email conversation *NOTE: you must read the bottom message first and work way up... sorry*
Ginnie-- I'm certainly convinced that you took it. I hate to make you do it again, but that might indeed be the easiest solution at this point. Why don't you drop by my office a few minutes before the review session -- LeConte 111. Sorry about this! JI

It was the Praying for Sheetrock quiz. I sent out an email

>>Somehow I don't think very many quizzes had that on there. I

Ginnie-- Don't worry; we'll get this straightened out. Can

Professor Inscoe,

>>>Thursday, April 28th, we received our term paper and
>Praying For Sheetrock quiz. However, according to my TA, my book
>>>quiz was misplaced, I never received a grade, and my TA
>>>never got a quiz to grade. I was, without a doubt,

>>>the quiz mistakenly was mixed with another TAs. I can only
>>>hope that this happened. Otherwise, Mao said that he must
>>>assume that I did not take the quiz and therefore, I would
>>>receive a zero.
I wish to have this speedily taken care of and without
>>>trouble. But I do not want to receive a zero for a quiz
>>>that I took (unless that is the grade I deserve for
>>>incorrectly answering the questions). I should not have to
>>>be penalized for the TAs misplacing my quiz.
>>>>>>I hope there is some way to take care of this situation.>
>>>>>Sincerely,
>>>Virginia Poorbaugh
Oh wow.... How joyous!!!! So I will definitely only have to make an 85 on the final instead of a 109... I think that is feesable (sp?)
Yay!
Do a little dance
Making a little love

Very happy this worked out for you. Glad your professor seems like a reasonable guy, even though your TA is not.
...And I'm glad you're not being bent over a desk by the History dept. anymore! This weekend will be better, I get to hang out with you guys all day. Good luck on your finals, and here's hoping the Mexicans can give me another week of automotive bliss...
