Tears

I am so upset right now, so I figured I would let off some steam by writing a blog... Today, I found out that my dad only has off the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, a day which I KNOW we have school. It is extremely frustrating because holidays are the worst time to remember that your parents are divorced anyway, and it is bad enough that my dad never tells me anything in advance. So this morning, I emailed all my professors (including you, hah) because I figured that by telling all of them in advance they would not assume I was skipping, like I am sure people will, and I would be able to do the assignments and make up things in advanced. I explained my situation to an extent (not as in depth as I did with you, seeing as you know my situation a little better) and went to work. I was already nervous enough to have to tell my professors I would have to miss because I am not one to ever miss class, not even in high school. So when I got back from work today, I had an email from my math professor, and I assumed that it would be some sort of response understanding my situation. Instead I was confronted with "We have a quiz that day, are you planning on skipping that too?" It completely took me by surprise, so much that I burst out in tears. It makes me extremely mad that she thinks I am attempting to skip her class. I have not missed a single class yet and always try to pay attention and participate in class. Her class is the last class of the day and I am not sure if she misinterpreted my email as to I was only going to be gone for her class, but I am most certainly not. I emailed her back, and was probably much to "snippy" in my email, though a friend who read it said it sounded fine. I just felt like she was judging me for something that wasn't even my fault or intention. I am praying none of my other professors respond like this... I literally have never had a teacher act this way towards me before, and it completely hurt my feelings. I haven't even been to my dad's house since I moved up here, and I have only seen him twice. I can't quit bawling now thinking that the ONE day that he has off, that I could be with him, may not even happen because my professor thinks I am "skipping" her class and doesn't think that this is a legitimate reason. If this isn't I would really like to know what is. I feel awful, and I am hoping that she changes her mind after my second email and lets me take the quiz in advance like I asked too. I feel so stupid because my roommate is in here while I am crying my eyes out. I feel like I am being treated like a little kid and bad student, when in reality, I just want to see my dad...
