I talked my way into the microfiction creative writing class that the faculty advisor wouldn’t let me sign up for yesterday because I didn’t have the prereqs. And when I say talked my way into, I mean blurted out my entire resume to the faculty advisor and begged her to talk to the chair of the creative writing department. She did. When she got back to me, she told me that he’d suggested I take Poetry II instead. I’m apparently a little overqualified for microfiction. But I’m allergic to poetry, so I’m sticking with that.
