[wiper]

if she tells you to 'get the notes from someone else', do that, right?

sounds like [censored], for sure..

something along the lines of, 'i'm sorry, but i have to work those hours (or any other excuse you can think of) every friday, and i don't want to fall behind because i'm missing now mandatory classes. i was absent the day you discussed this, and now i feel like i'll be behind the eight ball the rest of the semester. i'd like to figure out a course of action with you, but if this is already set in stone, i think i'll have to talk to the math chairperson to further explore my options here..'

*shrug*

thing is, if you really did have a job and just weren't trying to get a headstart on getting drunk for the weekend, you'd be screwed, and i'd start to raise the possibility that she shouldn't be able to test you on anything learned in that 'extra class'..

report back, i'm interested to see how this plays out..
