Hey Ms. Shore,

I don’t have the gender project. I spent my weekend working on my campaign and studying for finals, and I suppose I’ll just rightfully take the fall on this one instead of trying to put together a rushed piece of nonsense the night before the final.

I obviously don’t expect credit for the assignment, but I’m hoping that my performance on the final itself will be pretty good, as I’ve been doing a fair amount of studying for all my classes across the board. At the suggestion of my doctor, I’m also getting tested for ADD— if that checks out, it’ll hopefully mean that next semester, my academic performance will be up to standard with, well, the rest of my life, which all things considered is going pretty well for me.

Sorry for the long email; I’m choosing to type this out as I feel like I’d have trouble communicating it to you in person tomorrow as a finals-week zombie. I legitimately appreciate and enjoy your class, and I’m hoping that I can take some stress away from both of us moving into the next semester so that I can enjoy AP Lang without a subtle, yet ever-present, sense of crushing guilt. I’m definitely looking forward to that.

Thanks again,
Carter
