You should have trademarked the practice while you still had the chance, but you failed to do so. Now it is public domain instead of intellectual property.

This military tribunal is called against the defendant a Mr. Ethel Mermania for Crimes of Love, Friendship, and Caring, and the detention of a Happiness Bomb over Holland. How does the defendant plead.

Yeah it is not entirely hopeless. I think I might be able to get a short extension on some of these projects along with some extra credit. I mean I was missing for two months thanks to surgery. Besides if worse comes to worse I can always redo a course or two over the summer.

Let's hope you can get that extension.
