On the theme of college stuff . . .

Um, Alison? You should probably keep an ear out for a call from the guy who's gonna be my academic advisor at NYU next year. And, um, possibly also from the registrar?

And maybe the Dean of Students. Um.

See, the thing is, they kinda . . .

Well, they don't really have, y'know, procedures in place for people who want to take simultaneous classes? The extra credit-load they can handle, it's just, the whole thing with having two 8 AM classes on the same days of the week, that kind of threw them for a loop. And then they took another look at my Xavier's transcript, and I tried to explain but I'm not really sure they believed me that I can pay attention both places at once. So, y'know, if maybe you could reassure them about that? They'll probably listen to you, with being a teacher and all. That would be great, and thanks. And I'm sorry for the trouble.

That was a really awkward meeting. Man. I guess at least they didn't kick me out or anything, so that's good.

Jamie? Make sure they're not calling until late tomorrow at least? It'd be bad of me to burst into laughter as soon as I answered the phone, see.

I'm not laughing now. Really. Not one bit.

Oh, sure. Next time I have a meeting with baffled university administration I'm gonna throw you to them, see how you like it. One more round of "But . . . but we've just never encountered a situation like this before!" and I was gonna give them all sneezing-powder in their coffee.

It'll be sneezing-powder in your coffee next. ;)

Touch the coffee and you'll be in trouble with Lorna.

When am I not in trouble with Lorna?

Yes. But we're talking coffee here.

This would be worse than any regular trouble.

I've been in coffee trouble with Lorna before too.

You have indeed!

Now what did you want me to tell the university administrators again?

Curses. OK, you win. :)

Hrm. I wonder if I should warn the university administrators about your coffee molesting habits?


x_crowdofone
May 5 2005, 19:33:24 UTC
Lies, all of them! I have never molested coffee! You wouldn't really tell them that, would you? Eep. They're acaqdemics. They're administration. Eep.

They're coffee worshippers. Yep.

I think you should bribe them with fudge when everything is said and done, to thank them for making new paperwork for you. I'll sound out the terrain on that one when they... call...

*starts laughing*

. . . oh, and they just would have to make up new paperwork. Darnit, I thought I was done with that.

Thanks again. :)

They'll either love you for it or glare holes through you! I'm betting on them being all gleeful at the thought of new paperwork, though. ;)

I'm going to have to fill out more forms. Augh.


x_dazzler
May 5 2005, 19:49:23 UTC
Aw. But it's all for a good cause?

(Probably in triplicate. For each class. Maybe each dupe, too. They may ask for that, you know.)


x_crowdofone
May 5 2005, 19:53:23 UTC
Can I think bad words while I fill them out?


x_dazzler
May 5 2005, 19:54:51 UTC
Well, so long as none of them happen to be a telepath, you should be fine. :)

You're mean. Now I'm gonna be all paranoid!

Oops?

Wait, let me try again without laughing?

Oooops?

Rats! Still laughing!
