Email to TA

Hello Falcon,
    I am a student from your chemistry discussion group FQ1 that meets at eleven on Tuesdays and Thursdays. With the upcoming exam this week I was wondering if you will be having extra office hours. I am currently busy during your regular office hours and it would be very helpful for me to meet with you and go over some concepts that I am having trouble with. I understand if you are busy this week and are unable to meet, but it would be equally as helpful to me if you could point me in the direction of another teaching assistant or professor that is available.

Thank you,
                  Wade Stone

Reaching Out!

    I never thought of trying to reach out. I have always been to intimidated to try and contact people that are famous or important to large companies. This week I reached out by sending an email to a popular band that played in Urbana recently and I am still awaiting their response.
    I sent an email to The Hood Internet. They are a popular band that started out small by remixing songs and putting them on the internet for free. They eventually blew up with popularity and started playing shows. I saw them two weeks ago at the Canopy Club in Urbana and they were amazing. Since I had some similarities with this band it made it easy to send them an email. I sent an email complimenting them on the show that I saw and asking a few technical questions about the equipment they used. I thought it would increase my chances of a response if I asked something interesting. I still havent heard back from them but reaching out was a lot easier than I had expected.
    Although I have not heard back from The Hood Internet it was still a noteworthy experience to reach out to someone. I think it was very easy for me because I had some similarities to talk about and bond over with my target. If I ever get a response ill be sure to fill you guys.
