Bad luck on test days

This isn't so bad on its face:
hi [prof name] its [student name]. i jutrs wanted to let you know i pulled my hamstring really bad in kinesealogy this morning and i am getting it iced and heated so i wont make it to class. can you please let me know what date the final is and what section we are up to. thank you and i hope your thanksgiving was a good one.

But in context it's a doozy: Apparently the student was not aware that the class they were missing was in fact the day of "Test 3". They had already missed "Test 2" a few weeks earlier:
[prof name],
hi its [student name]. i wanted tot thank you for letting me make up that test and i also wanted to apologize for missing the quiz the next day. im not going to blame my roomate for pulling out the alarm clock to plug in the printer, but thats what happened and you were out of your ofice when i got there after my next class.
