Clan Otori is hosting a thing

Not associated with it so don't ask me questions but this looks pretty cool:

"So What Is It Exactly?

It's a full-fledged, text-based browser game. You register, play alongside your regular KoL account, and earn real KoL items for your efforts.. and the loot pool is huge. There are over 220,000 items hidden in the game worth over 3.5 billion Meat, plus two extra-special, mall-extinct items that are so rare we can't even put a price on them. There are almost 800 unique adventures and multiple different puzzles and quests to encounter."

You can try to waive College Writing requirement

FYI: From https://www.umass.edu/writing-program/students/writing-placement

I have a lot of college-level writing experience. Can I waive the College Writing requirement?

Yes! You can apply to waive the CW requirement, which means you wouldn't need to take College Writing to graduate. To apply, follow these steps:

  1. Take the Writing Placement Exam.
  2. Email writingplacement@umass.edu and request waiver application instructions. Your email can be short: "I have completed writing placement and would like to request information about waiving the CW requirement."
  3. Write an essay and reflection following the waiver application instructions.
  4. Submit your application through the form provided in the instructions.
  5. Email writingplacement@umass.edu to let us know you've submitted an application.

It can take us several weeks to read applications, so please submit at least two weeks before you will need information about your waiver status.
