stranger than your sympathy, this is my apology

A classmate asked if we would still meet for philo class next week when we have a film-viewing session (which serves as the basis for one of the long test questions) during the same timeslot. This is an excerpt from my teacher's email to his students at large:

we won't be meeting in class anymore. that is precisely the point of having this supplementary but required class activity[...]besides, it will be physically impossible, wouldn't it? i know that i am difficult and demanding, but i am not cruel and irrational, right?

NO HE ISN'T.

It must be really difficult to be one of the most feared/dreaded/hated members of the Philosophy department, isn't it? Everyone assumes the worst about you. :[

I feel so sad for him now. DDDDDDDD:
