Last week I only had class on Monday since I don't have Tuesday classes and the rest of the week was Thanksgiving Break. Yes, it was pretty sweet. Some of the the students in my last class of the day were debating whether they would attend their Tuesday classes or just head home for the break instead. I pointed out that the vacation portion of the week didn't actually start until Wednesday and they run the risk of missing something relevant or at least graded. Just call me Professor Buzzkill. The students said that they wished their professors would just cancel classes which would let them off the hook. I told them that doing this was kind of unprofessional. As a bonus bit of wisdom, I gave them the advice that calling in sick after a long weekend looks pretty sketchy and should be avoided.
Not to sound arrogant or anything but I'm pretty sure the universe listens to me and thinks it's funny to mess with me.
Having said that, it should come as no surprise that at about 7 p.m. on the Sunday of Thanksgiving break I started to become sick. So, eating my own words (and little else) I called in sick for Monday.
So, I'm going to try something: I want you all to know that winning the lottery is really sketchy and should be avoided.
