November's Wall of Shame

I've decided rather than allow anyone to miss these little gems of wisdom from university students, I would begin a monthly wall of shame. Today, I begin November with this:

Oh, America, has it come to this?

"I myself grew up in a difficult household and led a fairly rough life. Not in the same manner as the people in the movie. I can still relate to the fact that fighting does may win the battle, only calm will win the war."

From an e-mail inquiry to my university:

"hi ,

i happen to be 32-over the age of your traditional undergrad,can you give me any suggestions on where i could go to further my training in acting, or to start like i would if i where attending there.what would be the next best place other than yourself that you suggest i go, unless you have a program for adults.
thank you... XXXXX"

My turn

Today, I go on my own wall of shame. It's not for something I wrote, but for something I failed to write. I managed to miss an entire week of discussion in class without realizing it until my professor sent me e-mail to make sure I was alive. My head was as in the clouds this week as those who you typically see quoted here!

Hi, I want to go to another school:
(This one is especially priceless, because it is an e-mail addressed to me at Pace University)

"I am a high school senior, and I am plan apply to CUNY Brooklyn College for the Fall 2010 semester. I just wanted to know if there are any Letter of Recommendation requirements in which the recommender has to follow?"

Can I have an apostrophe, please?

"In conclusion, I truly feel that your emotional reaction is always at the mercy of the director and writer's and whether one feels upset about that or not may depend on what that person believes the truth's are in the movie, excluding the tweaks and embellishments."
