I'm trying to write a letter of apology to my professor. How is this?

Wow, is it that formal? That's exactly what I was going for. I wonder if it will impress my professor since this is only beginner's Japanese and our class only just finished hiragana.

Why would you write a letter about being late? You should have just said sorry at the time you came to class and not made a habit of it after that.

Dear (so and so)

I was inexcusable for my lateness of before. Even though I really like Japanese, this week has been massive and difficult. Because the first week of college has gotten me tired, I accidentally slept. In the time that I woke up, it was three forty pm. And so, it's inexcusable. From now on, I will firmly not give you my doing of embarrassment.

Regards

>仕舞いました
I don't think you are supposed to use kanji for that or it will end up meaning something completely different (to finish, put an end to x, do x completely etc.) while you probably want the "I accidentaly did this" type of "shimatta".

>>9661278
Yup, double checked Tae Kim's Grammar Guide.
>5.3.3 Another meaning of 「しまう」
>If you look up 「しまう」, the edict dictionary will say: 仕舞う【しまう】(v5u) (uk) to finish; to close; to do something completely; to put away; to put an end to;
>You may want to consider this a totally separate verb from the 「しまう」we have covered so far.
(the "shimatta" type of "shimau")
>Occasionally but not usually, 「しまう」will have this meaning rather than the unintended action.

Your writing style is pretty bad, too many Kanji and some mistakes in Keigo usage. Aside from that, it sounds plain retarded.
You may think you can impress your teacher with writing a letter like that, but in reality you'll look back in a year or so and realize how this is a badly written piece of shit.

I never realized this could be such a significant affront to a person.

I showed up "unforgivably" late every single day to my morning class throughout the latter half of high school. My physics teacher responded to this by constructing test question which featured me in an array of classical mechanics problems struggling to arrive to the class. Had her again the following year and at that point she just sort of quietly accepted it I suppose.

It wasn't explicitly arrogance or deliberate subversion, I was just really sleepy most of the time. Though I didn't really have to do work or study responsibly to pass that class as it amounting to putting numbers into equations and pushing buttons, so classroom schedules weren't the only pedagogic conventions I was openly flouting. I couldn't have been too disruptive.

Profs vary in their style.

I've had some that don't give a fuck as long as you actually do the work. I showed up to literally five Econ classes one term (first and second days, midterm, the day the midterm was returned, and the final day), still got an A, and the prof didn't care because I was getting great grades on the weekly online tests.

On the other hand, I had an Asian Studies prof who took attendance literally every day and gave anyone who missed more than five classes without valid excuses an automatic fail. Which was the only reason I attended class, because I could've passed that asleep.

But those are the two extremes - most courses I have taken didn't have explicit attendance policies but had enough content to the classes that you really didn't want to miss them, which is how I think things should work. If I can learn shit straight from a textbook, just charge me for the book and a $50 exam fee or something. Don't force me to come to class or pay for lectures that are worthless. Make the lectures worthwhile. I missed precisely two of my Introductory Japanese classes, and both for reasons beyond my control (basement flooded, and the fucking worthless graduation services could only slot me in DURING a class). And boy, my marks on the tests related to those two classes really did reflect my absence.

In HS? Damn that must've been nice. I thought all high schools by this point had gone like mine had to an automated attendance system that had to be submitted by the teacher immediately after school started. A few late or no-shows and you were getting in big trouble. Maybe my HS was just nazi.

Here's what you do:
Do not write a letter of apology; do not apologise at all.

Provided you aren't the only one in the class and his pay is not performance weighted, your professor could not give a fuck that you didn't turn up.
Your education career will be less stressful after you realise that no one cares about you.
