Hi, have you ever asked a professor for a paper extension? I know that this is a totally random question, but I really need one and I’m freaking the fuck out b/c I don’t know how to go about it.
once my best friend in college got a paper extension because her dog at home died. you can do this. send an email that explains how desperate you are but does not make you sound insane – make you roommate double-check it for you – and you’ll probably be golden.

[sidenote: i have been asking this question for years (well, during the bush presidency i often asked “has america become an aristocracy?” but things have changed). I think the idea behind the whole OWS thing is that we need to stop kidding ourselves about it being a meritocracy. It isn’t.]

“a former employee of Steven J. Baum recently sent me snapshots of last year’s party. In an e-mail, she said that she wanted me to see them because they showed an appalling lack of compassion toward the homeowners — invariably poor and down on their luck — that the Baum firm had brought foreclosure proceedings against… When we spoke later, she added that the snapshots are an accurate representation of the firm’s mind-set. “There is this really cavalier attitude,” she said. “It doesn’t matter that people are going to lose their homes.” Nor does the firm try to help people get mortgage modifications; the pressure, always, is to foreclose. I told her I wanted to post the photos on The Times’s Web site so that readers could see them. She agreed.”
