Well this past week has been quite stressful in terms of school work because I've been trying to get into the right German test. On Friday I took a CLEP test and placed into 201, which is not offered this semester. I told one of the German professors this and he told me that I should sign up for 202. That class is the same time as my math class.
So I sent about 3 emails over the course of last night, describing the problem, how I went about the problem, and then telling the professor that I will just be seeing my academic advisor in order to straighten things out.
The way he responded was completely unexpected. He is offended because in my email, I said "damn it" in German. I don't think he realizes that I didn't direct that towards him, and it was for comedic intentions. He told me that he is done 'corresponding' with me, and then emailed the other German professor and the Department of Languages secretary about it, and forwarded the message to me.
I told my friends about this, and they all agree that he is being quite childish about this. So what I did was email the other German professor and the Department secretary explaining my side of the story. Then I sent the offended professor an apologizing email, explaining my intentions and regrets, and hoping that this will not further damage anything.
So there, my big fat mouth gets me in trouble again. I thought that I had established a friendly relationship with that professor... friendly enough to speak in a casual tone, anyway. My college instructors from the past used profanity casually, and did not concern them unless you said "**** you!" or something. I really feel bad that I offended him, but I think he overreacted and is being quite childish.
Right now I am currently enrolled in this professor's 102 class. The other German professor does not teach any language courses during the Spring semester... I was hoping to take a language course this semester, but now I am intimidated to do so. I am afraid that I will be discriminated against, and I don't know what to do.
Just need some advice on what to do, and maybe an opinion on where I stand and how I handled the situation.
