I just received this email:
i would like to have a meeting about my scheudle for next semester either next monday the 27th or tuesday the 28th. I have classes on monday's from 10 until 2 and on tuesdays at 10-11 and 12:40 - 2. if i could meet you at any time other than this i would appreciate it.
I responded with this email:
Hi [Student-For-Whom-Commonplace-Civility-Has-Gone-By-The-Wayside] --
I am on leave this year and am, therefore, unable to advise students. Please contact the Dean's office to be reassigned a new advisor.
Good luck,

P.S. In the future, when addressing professors, etc. I would suggest writing emails more carefully. For example, using capital letters where necessary (such as for the pronoun "I" instead of "i") and having a salutation such as "Dear Dr. So-and-so" and "Sincerely, So-and-so". These simple actions will make you seem much more civil and will encourage professors to write you back and address your need.

There's really nothing quite like emails from students, is there?
I believe all teaching faculty should be instructed to maintain a running list of the never-ending, horrifyingly amusing, and otherwise obnoxious emails accrued throughout one's teaching career - purely for entertainment purposes later in life.
