Yeah, it caused a huge uproar back home. Oh, and worth mentioning, the professor is an American! Like we needed another reason ... haha!
I asked for an extension yesterday. My professor said no, but in a very polite and reassuring way. He said, "You don't need an extension. You're smart, you can do it!"
But then again, he's not an American. He's British. (Scottish, to be more specific).
