i'll learn by going

I sent an e-mail to the English department secretary earlier today because I am cancelling a class on Monday. I have a really uncomfortable and tense relationship with her that I find endlessly baffling.

Instead of responding to me she sent out a cold mass e-mail to the entire department that began, “Effective immediately the new policy on cancelling a class is as follows…”

I couldn’t tell if she was trying to ask me for more information, so I just wrote back, “Have a fun weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
