That sucks but at least you were better safe than sorry and can hopefully go rest

He thought it would be better if you didn’t attend?

But the professor doesn't really need to attend class. He already knows the answers to the final exam.

Guess I would have considered this a nice reprieve and went back home to take a nap. I realize it's a small annoyance when you put in the effort and the instructor isn't there, but if this is the biggest thing worth posting an FML about in your college life, you are coasting through school WAY easier than most other college students. And hate to say it, you're in for a rude awakening when real life problems hit you for the first time.
