I don't need you; I just can't put you down

The second ending is a perfect spin of the first. It says the same thing, but in a cold manner.

Exactly what I was thinking.

She kicked your ass and made you look like a douchebag. While she definitely had to run spellcheck and consult a thesaurus for her second e-mail, it was well put together and didn't leave you with an avenue to really say anything back. I'd say that exchange is over. So what's your record now? 3894 W - ! L? Can't win 'em all, I guess! ^_^

Actually, I did win this one, though not honestly. Here was my reply email:

Tonya,

That was an accident. I got your address from the midterm email, but I forgot to delete your Cc:. Sorry about that.

In class, I followed up by saying that because it was 2:00 A.M., I wasn't paying attention to what I was copying and pasting while composing my email, and she bought it. Then I asked her if she would prefer to be addressed as Ms. McArthur. I said, "Personally, when I tutor kids, and they call me 'Mister,' it makes me feel kind of old." She said it was alright, and I should call her Tonya.

Interesting note: She revealed in class that her year of birth was 1974, meaning that she's actually 32, meaning that she's several years behind for a PhD student. Little did she know that 2:00 A.M. is when I'm at my sharpest, and I emailed the whole class quite intentionally.
