Yes, I did. He didn’t care. And there’s no dean of his department. Plus when this happened last year, we didn’t have a bereavement policy in place which meant we couldn’t take a day for greaving. That just got implemented this year. Trust me there’s nothing I can do now. I’ve had too many incidents that the school doesn’t care about to complain anymore.
Ah, I was just being silly and kidding about the dogs. :P And wow, sheesh. Your parents seem like the type that don't even want to celebrate Christmas. Do they even put up decorations or do they just sulk and brood in the shadows of one of the corners of the living room grumbling about how distracting rainbows and happiness are?

As for that professor, wow, no dean either. Huh, no wonder he screws around with that stuff. Well, as you said, can't really do anything about it now, but I'd say remember the good professors you had and forget this creep ever existed. You're already way better than that and don't need him. I've had many crappy professors and most of the crap they taught was never applied. But the ones that were good and pointed me in the right direction, those are the ones that I get inspired from and apply what they taught me.
