ACK
This warning should be posted under my class in the course offering directory:

WARNING The Astronomy-Physics program has determined that doing poorly in Astronomy 101 may have deleterious impact beyond your GPA. Students failing Astronomy 101 report a higher incidence of: deaths of grandparents, close relatives who discover they have cancer, chronic personal health problems, influenza outbreak, computer hardware failure, traffic accidents, complete melt down of their university email account, death of beloved pets, and inability to find adequate child-care services. A high degree of correlation has been observed, however the cause-effect relationship is still under study. Students who enroll in this course are advised to take it lightly at their own risk.

Soldier on brave space-cadets.

A professor of mine once had to tell me "My dog ate your essay." It turned out his terrier had knocked over a stand with student essays that he had been correcting, and sure enough, the corner of my essay had been shredded by his dog!

The excuses never seemed this thick at Minnesota. Although they were probably just as thick there only that the TAs, not the Profs, bore the brunt of it.

You forgot tending to get stuck in traffic, constantly.
