I was walking home the other day, and it dawned on me that on Thursdays class in Info 200 lecture, there was a huge misunderstanding that occurred. During the YouTube video on shopping cart design, it seemed that almost every TA thought I fell asleep. This idea seems so unlike me that it didn't occur to me that you might've thought I was sleeping until a full day later when my friend emphasized your perspective. In this particular case, I decided to close my eyes to concentrate on the underlying ideas that the video was presenting us with. I just wanted to clarify this misunderstanding, as not to be the student that fell "asleep" in class, but the student that actually made the effort to concentrate on the themes presented that day. I would also like to clarify that I don't always concentrate with my eyes closed, but sometimes if I sleep an extra hour I can "concentrate" even more intensely and efficiently. Thank you for taking your time to read this and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

IF you have any suggestions or comments please let me know:

You're sending an email to your prof explaining that you weren't sleeping in class when the TAs thought you did because it looks bad? Sorry to say but this is one weird email lol. Background? I would reserve sending an email to a prof unless its to clarify something (usually TAs first though) or ask questions (sometimes TAs, sometimes prof).

I don't have any suggestions and that sounds like a reasonable email, but I sure hope being caught sleeping doesn't jeopardize your chances at taking part in that entrepreneurial activity you were talking about in your last blog. It was a good to see you taking a more serious outlook towards your life, which is more than chasing tail. At least you are being proactive by emailing your TA about it. Best of luck.

Agree, no one will care if you fall asleep a single time in class.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't ignore it though, because if you send an email like the one in the OP, they will care about the email. You will most likely brand yourself as that (over?)ambitious student that listens with the eyes close and then gets anxious that he didn't give a good impression. Which may or may not be what you want.

So don't see it as damage repair (no damage done most likely), but as an opportunity to suck up to the teachers.

All in all, if you send them an email like that, you are effectively upping the stakes, and you better do well on the exam, because their eyes will be on you.

I look at it this way. You are in university. This means you are an adult. You can make adult decisions like whether to sleep in class, pay attention, attend at all, or do the work assigned. You are beyond the days when a teacher in high school had to hold your hand through the learning process and give you detention for sleeping in class. This email changes nothing in this arrangement.

No one cares anymore if you are a slacker, no one cares anymore if you are an overachiever studybug. No one cares anymore but you of course.

So I think my prediction was pretty accurate? They didn't care about falling asleep, but did care about your email. :p

anyway, gratz.
