OH MY GOD YOU GUYS.
So on Wednesday I left my once-a-week Varieties of Non-Fiction class early due to still being sick and pushing myself a little too far a little too soon. And last night I get an e-mail from a classmate letting me know that the essay we have due - oh, I'm sorry, I mean the ESSAI, it is FRENCH, guys, I'm taking a class where I write ESSAIS and the instructor uses "intentionality" in an actual sentence in an unironic fashion, like, could I have FOUND a more pretentious class at SMCC, I think NOT - but anyway, my classmate kindly e-mails to let me know that the ESSAI is due on Monday. For a Wednesday class. Naturally. I appreciate this gesture because I was just going to ask her during our Monday class if we missed anything, so that would have gotten interesting in a hurry.
So we're supposed to e-mail the ESSAI to the instructor by nine tomorrow night, and the instructor herself (whose name I will not be using as I have seen a member of the flist get almost-screwed by vanity Googling, and my instructor - kinda strikes me as the type) e-mails to let me know that she requires the ESSAIS as Word doc attachments. So I tell her, hey, I have a Mac without virus protection that could potentially pass along something nice and lethal to your PC, so can I copy/paste into the body of the e-mail?
Her reply?
"My system will block any document without virus protection, so I guess you'll have to paste your essai into the email. I hope I can copy it into a Word document. We'll see."
You'll see? You'll see??? IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT CTRL+C FOLLOWED BY CTRL+V THAT ESCAPES YOU? IS THERE A NUANCE IN THERE THAT YOU ARE NOT GRASPING? HIGHLIGHT. COPY. SWITCH PROGRAMS. PASTE.
WHAT THE FUCK YOU GUYS. She does have very exacting requirements regarding length, but it's not like I don't HAVE a word processing program, and one that is highly superior to fucking Word at that. I would just like to avoid killing her computer! I'm so sorry my attempt at courtesy is such a pain in the ass! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go write an ESSAI instead of working on my Wellesley transfer application that I already lost a fucking week and a half on because of being sick because the ESSAI is due two days before the motherfucking class!
I'm so glad this class is only once a week. "Intentionality." Christ.
