I got per­mis­sion to be in Advanced Poet­ry Writ­ing. I had to sub­mit a 5 poem man­u­script to do so. Here is the email from the prof:

Dear Adam,

You can print this out and take it to Kim in the Eng­lish depart­ment as per­mis­sion to reg­is­ter for Engl 402, Advanced Writ­ing. I’ll look for­ward to meet­ing you.

The Prof.

Now, in my hap­pi­ness, i will ana­lyze the above email.

1. Dear Adam: This means my poems have made me dear to her heart.
2. You can print this out…department: She is giv­ing me per­mis­sion to gloat over my pre­ferred sta­tus to the under­lings in the Eng­lish Depart­ment. Appar­ent­ly, Kim in par­tic­u­lar is on her shit list and i should make sure to gloat even more to her. Per­haps Kim was­n’t GOOD enough to be in the class.
3. Permission…Writing: Anoth­er state­ment giv­ing evi­dence to my elite sta­tus.
4. I’ll look for­ward to meet­ing you: Appar­ent­ly she believes i can teach HER some­thing about poet­ry.
