A: My professor wrote a really bad recommendation letter for me. B: You read his recommendation letter? A: Yeah. I couldn't resist. B: This is why you shouldn't read it. You might not like what you see. A: He wrote such boring things about me. B: What did he write? A: Just that I'm a diligent student who does well. B: At least it was nothing bad. You can always ask another professor. A: I know, but I don't have time. B: When do you need another recommendation letter by? A: I need one by this Friday. B: Oh, wow! Maybe you should just send the one you have now.
