So this morning I attended my Math class which I do every Monday and Wednesday morning. So last Wednesday we had a test and I showed up along with 38 of the 40 other students. While I studied the week prior to the test and showed up on time and completed the exam (scored 93%) these other two people decided it was ok for them not to show up. The morning of the test I did not notice their absence, nor did I care. (I still don’t but this situation was the most exciting thing of the day.. well maybe not this thing was the most exciting but my thoughts on the situation is probably the funniest)
This morning I showed up 15 minutes early because I hate being late, and the professor is there and he hands me my test. I’m happy with my results and my head phones are playing a Rick James Skit followed by Method man and Redman. I sit and get my shit together and the class starts. Fifteen minutes into class two women walk in almost together while the Prof is going over the test. Professor mentions they didn’t take exam and that they didn’t call, email, or give any prior notice that they would not be attending. What is funny is that both women walked in with excuses that seemed pretty stupid. The first woman, walked in and said, “Professor Bob, (she’s an advanced middle aged black woman) don’t you member me sniffling and coughing in class last Monday? I was fallin’ asleep, and weezing. I can’t believe you don’t remember. I was gonna call but I was just too tired to call cause I was sleeping. Can I take the test today?
Meanwhile during her excuse to the professor, the second of the absence woman is a young foreign black woman, and she waited patiently for her turn to lay down her idiotic nonsense.
Professor Bob, is an Australian who will make a sarcastic comment that is completely unwarranted, says to the first lazy piece of trash wasting my time lady, “you know what if you score less than your current percentage 67% on the test don’t bother coming to the next class.” (Mentally I was very happy with this response. Because I know my racial profiling and I know that she is functionally retarded and won’t score over a 65%, and with her gone that means I will not have to listen to her interrupt class with , Professor Bob how do you add those to numbers together.)
Middle Aged Black Lady: “I don’t deserve that.”
Prof B: “You don’t deserve anything. The only reason why I’m giving you this is because you will complain and I’ll have to anyways. But mathematically if you don’t score over 70%, you’re going to fail.”
MABL: “My scores are a private matter!”
PB: “You are interrupting everyone else’s learning because you didn’t show up for an exam, and you think it’s okay to take it when you want? Please have a seat and see me afterwards.” He turns and stares at the second of the no test showers and says, “And what are you going to say to top her reason for not showing up.
Younger Aged Black Girl: “Well I wanted to come in but…… (This is when I stopped listening and the funniest thought came into my head)
I imagined myself walking right up to her and extending my right arm with five fingers extended. I wiggle my fingers and say to the class…. “POWDER ME!!” A fellow classmate who feels my anger towards the class interrupters, puffs some Baby Powder on my hand. The young black female’s eyes widen. I say, “What do five fingers say to the face?..... SLAP!!!” Followed by a loud smacking sound and the girl who felt obligated to waste my money (I paid for this class) hits the deck in utter anguish. The Professor gives me a Dap, and class resumes.
Now this thought was just a thought, but I felt it was just. These two women walked late into my class, armed with excuses about why they couldn’t make it for an exam that every other person could make it to. They didn’t even give the Professor a heads up. It’s sad that they were even given the opportunity to retake the exam. What has happened to our society where this behavior is acceptable? Seriously, he had to let them retake it because he knew that if they told on him, the university would ultimately make him allow them to retake it. We have lost all accountability for our actions, because we all know we can just complain our way into what we want.
