Upon waking up this morning, and learning that it was a snow day (yes!), I nervously stumbled over to my computer, knowing that Ms. Serensky must have sent us an e-mail regarding a fun activity that we should be doing for AP English on our day off. However, upon looking in my inbox, I noticed that no such e-mail existed. Then I talked to Lizzy Burl. She pointed out that Ms. Serensky had sent us an e-mail on Saturday, wanting us to write three discussion questions regarding One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. How was it, I thought to myself, that I had not received an e-mail? In fact, I hadn’t received an e-mail all year! That thought blew my mind for that could not, in fact, be possibly true! Then I remembered our school e-mail addresses…Oops! After trying about five different passwords before pulling out the original purple sheet of paper regarding our accounts and passwords, I was finally able to open my e-mail account, and sure enough, there lay a slew of unread e-mails from Ms. Serensky. Of course she would send e-mails to our new, shiny school approved e-mail addresses as opposed to our normal e-mail addresses that she sent her e-mails to last year! I even remember creating my account for the new school e-mail address, and feeling a sort of aversion towards it, not wanting to return to it soon. So the thought of Ms. Serensky sending us e-mails to it slipped my mind. How silly of me to let a dislike towards an electronic mailing device deter me from getting important e-mails from Ms. Serensky.
Nicola, I too, forget to check my school e-mail. In fact, I only check it after a classmate asks me, "Did you get Ms. Serensky's e-mail? We have an assignment." At that point, I feel as if it would be beneficial for me to check it, as I would not want to disregard an assignment. I hope Chase brings in the typed directions to link my school account to my Yahoo account that I requested today, as I plan on doing so in the future so that I check my school account more.
ReplyDeleteNicola and Sarah, because I have a different email account that I use for everything else, I frequently forget to check my school email. This definitely poses a problem because I would hate to miss an important email sent by Ms. Serensky. Hopefully Chase will be able to help me with connecting my two email adresses together. It is funny how as soon as I woke up on the snow day, the only school related topic on my mind was the blog, of course, as well as AP English class.
