Prof. Leon--

It was nice to meet you last night, and I enjoyed the first class even
though I'm not officially enrolled. I did confirm this afternoon that Ms
Bealer dropped your class today, so there should be an open seat as of
today.

Unfortunately, while I'm very excited about the prospect of taking your
class before I graduate in May, the Registrar's initial read after my
add/drop request is that I am not permitted to register. They have not
provided much of a rationale. I am waiting on a response, and I clearly
pointed out that I registered through the last chance lottery and am
currently #1 on the wait list. I'm not sure what can be done, but right now
it appears I will not be permitted to register and forfeit what seems
likely to remain an open seat.

I bring this to your attention primarily for situational awareness, but
also on the off chance that you might have any influence over this
situation. I have been hoping and planning to take this class for nearly
three years, and it would be extremely unfortunate if I was barred from
doing so by a very minor technicality.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts, and I hope to see you next Monday.

Humbly,

William "BJ" Donovan
