I agree - all persons in authority love when you submit to it. I think this goes double for academics.

Just say sorry, I was wrong - been stressed, wasn't thinking, won't do it again, etc... All will be well.

They'll give you some sort of warning and you'll walk away happy.

There will be back patting and glad handing and it'll all be over.

Don't stress - for god's sake don't bring in your dad. It'll make you look like you can't handle your own issues and they are likely to do a lot more lecturing.

Please don't forget to come back and let us all know what happened on this. I'm really interested to hear what this turned out to be. Especially after you mention it's a Community College, I'm personally interested. lol....

Good luck, and I hope it's a bunch of nothing in the end. Like others have said, if you catch this before heading in.... just show remorse and deep desire to have the opportunity to show how well you can go forth and sin no more.

After reading that letter I HIGHLY doubt much will come of your meeting. Just say you were being dumb and realize you are not more entitled etc... please dress well. I liked you guns a blazing joke.
