man i just remembered the time in high school i went up to my honors chem teacher like "hey sir not only have i been very open with you abt struggling with this unit, as has the whole class, and u have a difficult test tomorrow none of us are ready for, but my father literally just had a stroke and is scheduled for a shitton of MRIs bc we dont know what happened or if he'll be okay, im really scared for his health. is it okay if i take the test monday instead of tomorrow friday" and he said i quote "mel thats hard and im sorry but it sounds like an excuse. youll do fine if you study like youre supposed to" im still full of fury
