worth a shot ...
[the following is an actual email sent to my discussion leader]
Ms. Tillman,
Please don't misconstrue my tone as rude, abrasive, or challenging in any way. I come humbled, merely asking if I am actually getting a zero on last week's writing assignment because I posted an hour and a half late. I just looked at the gradebook, and after the missed assignment the week before, it'd be a bit devastating to have back to back zeros, despite me earning them. I could offer excuses, but that would just be pathetic (it's my job's fault, scout's honor). What if I fingerpainted you a "World's Greatest Graduate Assistant" banner to hang above your desk? Or I could crank out some more construction paper flowers with green pipe cleaner stems, like the ones I made my valentine?
After reading the syllabus, it just seems that I could've lied and said my internet wasn't working, printed it out and handed it in on Wednesday and gotten full credit. I fully understand that you have an obligation to teach me the error of my ways, but wouldn't "honesty is virtuous" be a much greater lesson for me to learn? Don't answer right away, but really spend some time to reflect on the impact you would be making on my life, and then visualize the envious eyes of your graduate peers as they stand facing your desk and sigh, defeated, while reading in bold, fingerpainted letters that it is indeed the one and only Kacy Tillman who reigns supreme over all others.

I haven't laughed this hard since Schindler's List.
Wow... I would have given you an "A"
I also forwarded it a friend who simply said this:
That. Is. AWESOME.
Dear Mr. Hall,
Without consulting me first, this posting is a violation of my privacy. Hopefully your writing skills will come in handy when you appeal to the student governing board to protest your suspension. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Ms. Tillman
Jeez. Technically, since it was TO her and not FROM her, it's not an actual invasion of privacy. It's your own personal intellectual property.
However, I would save her posting if I were you, since a written bait-and-threat from your professor might not go over so well with the university. Especially since she publically (through the blog) annouced to the world that you are facing suspension... which is also your own personal academic business.
Kudos to you and good luck.
I don't know where "Ms. Tillman" teaches, but at my university, publically disclosing private information about academic reprimands is grounds for termination.
I love your title... and the nod to "Rushmore".

Still it was only half past ten http://startso11.info/rowery.html when Jane was in the midst of her piece.. Van Kamp gasped and clutched http://startso11.info/Ob%C3%B3z+Narodowy+Stronnictwo+Narodowe.html the arm of her husband.. , the assumption of which is forced upon us by the dream, that we http://startso11.info/www.Sl%C5%A1ska+akademia+medyczna.html have to recognize and honor as the guardian of our psychic health.. Her pose http://wowyesaf.info/roe%2C+amika.html showed her pretty figure to advantage, but, of course, she did not know that.. That the dream is disfigured and distorted by memory we found to be correct, but not troublesome, as this is only the last manifest operation in the work of disfigurement http://startso11.info/polishtracker.html which has been active from the beginning of the dream-work.. The three returned together, Alicia casting curious glances at the uncomfortable youths, http://startso11.info/licea+og%C3%B3lnokszta%C5%82c%C4%85ce+w+katowicach.html Champe threatening to burst into giggles with every breath.. We cannot therefore doubt that these http://startso11.info/gladkienogi.html thoughts originate from our normal mental life.. What she would not say was what puzzled him. http://wowyesaf.info/suszarka+do+w%C5%82os%C3%B3w.html. In those days, Freud could not leave out any detail likely to make his extremely novel thesis evidentially acceptable to those http://startso11.info/herby+wszystkich+miejscowo%C5%9Bci.html willing to sift data.. But I regard another point as important, and will here confess that it was on account of this very point that I have just undertaken this entire discussion concerning the two psychic systems, their modes of operation, and the http://startso11.info/z%C5%82ocenie.html repression.. Suddenly her lips parted with a smile http://startso11.info/gomix.html that revealed a double row of most beautiful teeth..

He stooped instinctively for a missile with http://startso11.info/www.naszglogow.pl.html which to smite his accuser, but brought up suddenly with a jerk and a handful of sand.. When one stranger has a splendidly preserved blonde wife and the other a splendidly preserved brunette wife, both of whom have won social prominence by years http://startso11.info/teenax.html of hard fighting and aloofness, there remains nothing for the two men but to follow the lead, especially when directly under the eyes of the leaders.. The leader of a polar expedition tells us, for instance, that during the wintering amid the ice the crew, with http://startso11.info/www.cenik+qad%C3%B3w.html their monotonous diet and slight rations, dreamt regularly, like children, of fine meals, of mountains of tobacco, and of home.. A medical journal which displayed my name among others on the cover had published a ruinous review of a book by my friend F---- of Berlin, from the pen of a very http://startso11.info/eurocity.html juvenile reviewer.. He helped her gallantly to a chair, on which she seated herself sideways, somewhat ceremoniously, http://startso11.info/CHARCOT+JEAN+BAPTISTE.html with her eyes following the point of her parasol as she traced a pattern on the carpet.. His bushy wool was gray--almost http://startso11.info/Prezydent+Miasta++%C5%81odzi.html white.. With the greatest reluctance, and the--er--greatest pain, I succeeded in wresting from the maidenly modesty of my fair client the innocent confession http://startso11.info/MAGLOWNICA+MERCEDES.html that the defendant had induced her to correspond with him in these methods...
