Day Two

The day was going fine until I got a bitchy email from one of my professors. She had sent out an email announcement to the list serve and I missed one of the details in her announcement and asked her about it. Here is her response email:

Dear Katherine,

I debated writing this and decided that I should, in the spirit of being a teacher. I don't mean this harshly, but want you to consider this carefully. You asked me two questions that were already answered in my original announcement, which created a poor impression. I'm sure you dashed the email off without thinking carefully, and that is dangerous. Be aware of the impression you're creating, even with email. It's a tricky medium.

Professor So-and-So

For the record, I only asked her one question which was in the original email, and another question which she still hasn't answered, but seems to think she wrote about in the original email, and therefore feels the need to step on her soap box. Christ, people. It is only day two. Can't being bitchy wait until day three? Not meaning something harshly doesn't make make it any less harsh, especially with so small an oversight. It wouldn't get to me so much if this professor weren't in the department I want to go into, and has already rejected me on multiple occasions. I seem to continually earning myself a spot in her bad graces.

Day one was good, and the rest of day two was good until this. Day three will improve...I think I can I think I can...
