WASHINGTON - Sources within IAFF 3180W, a high-level writing course dealing with the issue of Nuclear Security, report that a small encampment has arisen near the podium at the front of the class.
Upon further investigation, University Police uncovered this to be the home of one Blake Everlett, a freshman Elliot student from Tuskegee, Alabama. Although they raised concerns about his open flame for “roasting my dinner of text books and shoes,” they agreed that it was an impressive feat for the young man to have made so much headway in the first place.
“Honestly, what we have here is the beginnings of a beautiful thing,” reported Professor Yaraslav Zimmer, a prominent member of GW’s department of Anthropology. “How often can we see a completely clueless and skill-less people build society from the ground up?”
The trouble began the first week of school, report sources close to Mr. Everlett who wished to remain anonymous.
“He was looking for, uh, like the Freshman one, Intro to International Affairs, I think it's called? But we started getting this scattered texts from him about how they were using phrases like ‘neoliberal institutionalism’ and cracking jokes about PL87-297 and laughing at them. And I think it’s about then he realized [he was in the wrong class].”
The messages stopped soon after, leaving friends and colleagues alike doubtful that he would ever return. While a Sophomore or Junior would likely have laughed about the incident and vowed to never mistake Room 214 for Room 314 again, the naive Everlett panicked.
“He’s started his own little civilization. It's kinda cute, I’ll admit,” said Professor Androv Pikniv, the instructor of the course. Pikniv thought on this subject for a moment, adding, “I like to call on him sometimes for questions to watch him just try to finagle his way through an answer. I’ve never seen someone ramble about Kissinger so much.”
Sources within the Elliot School maintenance staff are presently reporting strange trade caravans traveling between IAFF 3180W and a fourth floor Advanced Policy Analysis course.
