...and it's only the second week.
This weekend: spent in Tampa. And a very stressful weekend, for reasons I'm not going into here.
End result: did not look at the course website until about half an hour ago. (~8pm)
And I find this in my class!mail inbox:

You seem to be a highly organized and productive student, so I just wanted to check in. My gradebook shows a missing quiz score for you for Quiz 2. Did something happen causing you to miss the quiz? Are my records incorrect? Let me know so I can help.

I...
er...
...shit.
So I emailed him right back, citing family issues (very true!) and asking if I can still take the quiz but with a late grade.
I think the email in of itself is a good sign. (The phraseology especially.) With luck, I'll still get to take the quiz. *crosses fingers!*
