It's easier to jump to conclusions and **** on someone for a lot of these folks it seems.

It's much easier, you're right.

Good luck with your prof. You're doing the exact same **** all of these critics did when they were your age, except we didn't have QR codes to scan to prove our butt was in a seat. You're doing just fine. Absolutely do talk to your prof, though! Don't avoid the confrontation.

They take attendance in college?
I don't think that ever happened for me.

I had my computer open when one prof had his attendance grade question on the board for us to answer and he tried to refer me to the academic integrity board or whatever it's called for cheating. Truly a curb your enthusiasm situation.

What a surprise. GB criticizes college student for not acting grown up when they are a teenager/barely not a teenager, and yet they themselves are grown men and cannot resist but sexualize something when a woman is involved. Shocking.

False. I never showed up drunk to a class. From the day I started college I treated it like a job.

In my defense I'm probably ******ed and definitely an *******.

I don't see outrage, you must be overreacting. You're so dramatic.

Pot kettle etc

People sowing: HELL YEAH
People reaping: WTF IS THIS?!

All I asked was how to explain this situation to my professor. I am aware I ****ed up.

Dr Baodu tried to fail me in an AgEd class for not showing up. But it was my buddy that sat next to me that never showed up. I showed him my bull**** lazy ass prof "follow along notes" and he said I could've copied them from someone else. I asked him what my name was. <crickets> He calls in the TA, "who is this? You take the roll" "that's <buddies name>" I chuckle and pull my ID out. Oops. Screw that guy.

I don't understand what the big deal is.

Whether or not you're drunk, stoned, hungover doesn't matter. It's completely immaterial to the issue.

The issue was attendance. Whether or not you were there. Not how you answered the question. Not that you were hungover/drunk.

These are the facts:
- prof uses some type of system to check attendance.
- you were in attendance as evidenced by your participation.

That's it. That's the end.

Keep it to that. All the other stuff is noise. Apologize saying you didn't mean any disrespect with your answer, you truly didn't know. Tell him the class and attendance are important to you. Ask him to reconsider absence since you were in class. If you can reference notes or slides or other things from the lecture that would be good.

If he doesn't, go to department head or dean.

The prof came up with the attendance system. It was his idea. If he doesn't have confidence in his own system maybe he should try something else.

Wholeheartedly agree with this. Full stop. Thread over.

Ok. Sounds good.

Professor once marked me absinth. Left me feeling spirited to do better.

I can totally relate. I'm in my 40s and at least one a year I go to school and realize I'm pantsless (my son actually did this in kindergarten wearing a long Stars jersey and forgot pants.)

More commonly though I haven't been to school all semester and happen to show up for finals. Can't even remember where my locker is.

---

I think at some point that actually ends. I'm 59 and haven't had that dream in several years.

---

This is not true. I'm older than you and recently had that dream. In fact, I recall in the dream that I was wondering why I even cared about graduating based on my current age and stage of my career.

Depends or urine trouble.

This is the answer.
