Today totally sucked until the very, very end.

I had a test in my History of Rock class - which isn't the slackerly waste of credit-hours some people assume - and I completely missed it for no reason at all. We have three such exams all semester, and each counts for 20% of the final grade. The class policy is no makeups without proof of hospitalization.

I did what anyone would do; I panicked. I was presented with the unpleasant choice between a C and a WF - withdrawn, failing. Either way I'm fucked with my parents and in dire straits as far as HOPE is concerned. All day I worried about what I was going to say to my professor.

Then at the end of class, I told him very frankly that I'd fucked up and had no excuse or explanation. And now I'm taking the makeup tomorrow after Speculative Fiction.

Speaking of which, has anybody read The Master and Margarita or Magister Ludi: The Glass Bead Game? I'd like to discuss them with someone outside my class. Not that the people in my class aren't cool, but they're all a little self-censored because of the PK in their midst.

Does anyone have a few hundred bucks to spare? Or maybe a job?
