A frightened student reported that they stood there for almost half an hour, talking suspiciously in hushed voices among themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were really scary,&#8221; says <strong>Innocent Soph (&#8217;20)<\/strong>. &#8220;I have no idea what they were looking at or doing, but they seemed really frustrated or offended by something. It&#8217;s almost as though the glass doors were a walking, talking representation of Clash drama, or something equally horrible.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Such a gathering is especially odd, even though the faculty are famous for their weekly lunches in their department office. What could possibly have induced them to abandon their time-old tradition?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I guess they decided to replace family lunches with cult gatherings,&#8221; commented <strong>Well-Seasoned Senior (&#8217;18)<\/strong>. &#8220;But honestly, I think they&#8217;re cute either way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Representatives of the English Department declined to comment, despite an abundance of unconfirmed rumors. Students said that only two days previously, the esteemed Dr. Hancock was heard yelling, &#8220;I want you to go over there and tear those damn things off the door!&#8221; to his Creative Writing Workshop class.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He also screamed something like &#8216;this abomination contradicts the new Equity and Excellence report!'&#8221; reports&nbsp;<strong>Sleep-Deprived Junior (&#8217;19)<\/strong>. &#8220;And apparently he talked to Dr. Bob about his issues. But I don&#8217;t remember what exactly he was saying &#8212; see, I was <em>trying to<\/em> <em>nap<\/em>, at the time?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So as of yet, the exact target of the English department&#8217;s anger can only be left up to speculation. However, we can be sure that our favorite teachers are up to something &#8212; the usually confident Dr. Very Nice was overheard expressing an element of intrigue during the Wednesday gathering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Do you think they\u2019ll catch us now because our fingerprints are on them?\u201d she whispered furtively, eyes darting around for potential witnesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AURORA, IL &#8211; This past Wednesday, the entire IMSA English department was seen huddled around the new glass doors of the AC Pit at approximately&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":263,"featured_media":21336,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2490,2621],"tags":[2862,2863],"coauthors":[2555],"class_list":["post-21281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-humor","category-humor-satire","tag-did-we-mention-this-is-satire","tag-please-dont-take-this-seriously"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/263"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21281"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21281\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21341,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21281\/revisions\/21341"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21336"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21281"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.imsa.edu\/acronym\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=21281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
