I sat in an a class premised on preparing for the SAT through playing Path of Exile. The desks felt a little too short. I looked around at all of the other students when I realized that I was way too old to be here. Apparently the class was for people who had somehow gotten admitted without ever having taken the test. Barely any PoE was played before the class was dismissed. I walked up to the professor to tell them that there was a mistake and that I wasn’t supposed to be here; I was already a senior. I told them that I planned to switch the course for another when they asked if I was sure that wouldn’t be too much. I supposed that I could just take one fewer course for my final year. My linguistics professor popped in to say hi. I didn’t know how to respond beyond saying hello back.
