So, now I regroup and try to get my arse into some classes, I guess. Meanwhile trying to convince Gallatin that they really, really want to waive their 32 credit residence policy so I can go abroad next fall instead of this spring.

I think I can get into June Foley's Writing for Young Readers. Only one person on the waitlist now. She's lovely, too.

Hmm, there's Acting Medieval Art. Only two credits, though.

Um, there's also Ancient Egyptian Mortuary Practices ... if they don't cancel it ...

This is gonna be interesting, eh?

Oddly enough, one of the women in Admissions at St Andrews is coming to New York in April, and she wants to hook up with me for lunch and have me show her around NYU. Kind of the opposite of what I had in mind, but hey, if I get a chance to reverse it again ...

True story... First semester my freshman year, I needed to get into Writing Seminar I [known then as Rhetoric I].  This, as you know, was a required course.  Yet, somehow, all the sections were closed.  Countless people had assured me that if a course was closed, I could speak to the professor and they would sign a form and let me in the class.  Well, after speaking to four professors who would NOT sign a form and let me in the class, I finally turned to June Foley, who knew of the trouble I was having, and pretty much pleaded with her to sign my form.  "Oh," she said, "I just let someone else into the course, which makes 18, and you know, 19 is way too many for this kind of course."  I swear.  Oh, and did I mention she was my advisor?

I ended up taking Rhetoric I in the spring with about four other losers like me.  I fully believe that this incident greatly contributed to my early-onset hatred of NYU.  Of course, I still attend NYU, and June Foley is even still my advisor, so maybe I'm just a masochist.

P.S.  Don't tell her I said this.  I still need her to approve my spring schedule. :)

Oh, dear. I do recall the story of the Rhetoric debacle.

Tell it to the people who are actually in the class and try to get them to drop ... or just send out dropping vibes ...

I'm sorry, I do tend to repeat my stories.  Anyway, I am duly sending out said dropping vibes.

Oh, but this time it had more gory details.
