Lessons in handling stress

I just want it down here for the record, Professor. I tried.

I emailed a very helpful professor who was willing to work with me and I scheduled my observation. Check and mate.

Five days later, she cancelled on me, and it was for very good reason, so I said thanks for the help and asked someone else.

This someone else was also helpful and very understanding about the lateness of the request. She sent me files to answer any questions I might have that she didn't have time to answer. Crisis handled.

Now the weather is cold. Not icy, not even snowy. Just cold. And classes are cancelled. Guess which class was during the cancelled block? My second scheduled observation.

I emailed the teacher again to see if she would let me come to another section, but I don't know when I will receive a response, and it is supposed to happen tomorrow.

I hope the observation can take place within the allotted time frame, but my optimism is flagging.

I tried, Professor. I really did.
