x_multiplemanUm, 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.

I offer sympathy but I think the giggling would give away the lack of it.

And hey, he threatened coffee. Again.

Right. That is helping with the lack of sympathy. You know, maybe I should give the admin a call too. After all, he is one of my students.

Or you could be there when I talk to them? Conference calls are easy to manage.

An excellent point! We should show them that the school is behind him on this one. Give them a candid view of his merits and flaws as a student.

Think we should start working on a list now? :D

Oh absolutely. I just have to make a quick phone call...it's only 9 in LA right?
x_dazzler
May 5 2005, 21:26:17 UTC
9 something, yeah.
...
Who're you calling?

Chef Marcel. I need to double check a recipe for the wedding. And there's a couple other things I need to ask him.

No touching the stove!
There's stuff in the fridge. Use the toaster oven. DO NOT turn it up all the way.

I wasn't gonna!!!
Ooh. What stuff? Nevermind! Will go look!
Thaaaank you! (Want me to bring something back up for you while I'm at it? Actually, I just will. Snacks and stuff. I can do those!)

You know, there's a very good reason I asked Professor Xavier to write me a letter of recommendation for my application instead of you two. :)
I'm doomed, and I can't even claim to be outnumbered. How fair is that?

We think it's perfectly fair.

Pfft. I'm a teenager. So you're automatically wrong, and I'm automatically oppressed and nobody understands the inner pain of my inner pain. Or something along those lines. Just you wait, any second now I'm gonna go off and write reams of horrible unrhymed poetry about the unfairness of it all.

Uh huh, you do that. I'm sure your woe is great and deep.

May 6 2005, 09:01:27 UTC
Oh, it is. In fact, I just shed a single crystalline tear as a symbol of my inner torment.
No, wait, wait, that was pepper in my eye. Ow. That's definitely outer torment. You want some of these empanadas while I'm using up the extra duck?
x_polarisstar
May 6 2005, 09:03:49 UTC
That's so touching. I think I might feel guilty...no, false alarm.
Oooh, yeah. Got enough for Alex too?

May 6 2005, 09:09:57 UTC
Don't see why not, I got plenty of duck in case the recipe turned out to be really good, which it did. I'll just have to sneak 'em up so Miles doesn't see.

You rock. He was whining about being hungry and I don't feel like making anything. (No, I have not been replaced by a robot, hu-man.)
