No. That’s still not a citation.

That is definitely not salmon.

I know this is a cliche, but I’ve never said it before: I wish I could upvote you more than once.

And it’s not just CS classes. Most classes at the college and above level do this to you. You don’t get a vacation.

So your workload is massive.

That would explain it.

I sent an email to a professor three or so days before an assignment would be coming due asking for any extension I could get because I had to travel out of state for surgery.

He said no.

Can’t recommend Seattle University. Probably should have reported him. Seemed like a nice school otherwise.

Welcome to being American, my fellow French, I mean, American friends!

I remember when random comics that don’t get passed around much weren’t considered to be memes.

I must be so old.
