Hi Ms. Marsh,

I am emailing to arrange a personal tutor meeting. If you could let me know a date and time that will suit you, I would be grateful.

Kind regards,

Kang Haerin

Haerin felt like adding a big "Fuuuuuck youuu" to the email as she clicked send to her lecturer. It was now Saturday morning, and after attending yet another freshers party last night, Haerin felt rough.

Minji had copped off with some girl from her psychology class and hadn't come back to the apartment last night. Haerin was actually pleased to have the place to herself as she went over her first week in Uni, trying to sort out folders and books she would need for her courses.

She had finally managed to get her registration sorted, and the dread of not only having Danielle as her lecturer for her core module of her Degree, but also to find out she was her personal tutor for the year. It was soul-destroying to say the least, but she knew she needed to get on with it.

She was no longer a little school kid, and nobody was going to hold her hand through this course. She knew she was going to have to fight to keep her place in this course, and she was determined that she was going to show the likes of Danielle Marsh that she was not going to drop out and be a failure.

Her email notification came through on her phone, and she checked it straight away, seeing it was Danielle already responding within a couple of minutes.

Hi Haerin,

All of my other students have been in touch earlier this week regarding their first meeting, and some have been completed. Is there a reason why you are emailing me on a Saturday after 5 days of lectures have first commenced?

Regards,

Danielle Marsh

"That fucking patronising bitch," Haerin snapped as she closed her laptop, feeling her anger flare.

How could such a beautiful woman be such a horrible human being? She always had something critical to say back to the brunette. Did Haerin really have to explain why she was not aware until yesterday about having to go to the student administration office? If Danielle heard that, she would most likely have something bitchy to say to Haerin about how careless she was.

The brunette sighed as she decided against emailing her lecturer back. Danielle was right; it was the weekend, so Haerin was going to forget about her bitch of a personal tutor and go do what she does best... go get wasted.

By Monday, Haerin was like a new woman. She had nursed her hangover all day Sunday and spent the day with Minji watching Netflix. She had an early night and made it on time for her early physiology classes. Anatomy was her main interest, but she enjoyed learning about the body's functions and how it works. Plus, her Lecturer Jackie Fields was a hundred times nicer than Miss Marsh, which was a bonus.

Monday on her Anatomy timetable was allocated for self-directed lecture within the lecture hall, unless labs were organized by Miss Marsh. This week she had given the class self-directed workbook to complete on the basics of the spine, and everyone sat quietly as Danielle glared into her computer without speaking to anyone unless they queried anything.

Haerin saw her phone flash with a notification from her emails as she picked it up and saw it was another email from her lecturer who was sat merely 20 meters from her with her head engrossed in her laptop.

Miss Kang,

I am curious to know why you have not replied to my email with a valid excuse for why you have not attended a meeting with me. Please see me after class.
