THE TRUTH ABOUT: University professor email postponed exam | History Defined
Most of us have probably been in these kinds of situations at least once. Let’s be real—probably more than once. We’re talking about those situations back in school or university where you completely forgot to do your homework or missed some kind of deadline, and you tried your best to come up with some kind of convincing story to explain yourself in front of the teacher or professor. There are people who have the talent to come up with truly convincing ones. In the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, some aren’t that lucky and tend to go a bit overboard and their stories end up being something along the lines of “the dog ate my homework.”
But have ever witnessed a teacher or a profession trying to do something like that? If not, you’re about to. Twitter user decentbirthday has recently shared an email her class received from one of their professors explaining why he had to postpone an exam. Turns out, this letter is a true masterpiece.

It would appear the professor has a sense of humor. It would also appear that the humor is going over most people's heads.

Clearly! I tell my students to keep their excuses to one. Piling them up just makes me yawn. “My alarms didn’t go off and then I overslept and my stomach hurt and I couldn’t find my charger and then I went to the wrong class because I was confused about what time it was and can I have an extension (on the thing I’ve known about for the past month and had time to work on in class which I frittered away texting my bffs)?
