Dear Students, As you can see, I am not here today. No, I have not decided to defy gender norms and come to school wearing a fake beard and men's clothing like the substitute you have before you. Rather, I am in Vail serving dutifully in my best friend from high school's wedding. Your job today is to be good students because it's the right thing to do (shout out to my man, Immanuel Kant!) The task before you today is to maximize class time so you can enjoy the weekend without Humanities homework. You have all of class to work on homework. Email me if you have any questions and I'll try to get back to you over the weekend HOMEWORK (Due Tuesday- we don't have school Monday)
If you are feeling distressed due to my absence and feel like screaming, just let these goats yell for you and laugh instead:
