When you miss (skip?) class, I do appreciate your emails letting me know that you are, in fact, alive and (mostly) well. I'm glad to hear that you've gone to the health center to get checked out. I'm more than happy to go over missed material with you once you are back on your feet.
However, it would be GREAT if you would hold back a FEW details. For example, I don't need to know that you missed class because of
- a case of persistent diarrhea
- a horrible breakup with your boyfriend
- a failure to recharge your cell phone
- a hangover
- a need to finish a paper for your history class
- an infection "down there"
Mmmmkay?? Thanks.
Sincerely,
Dr. Reaction
