An Email That I Would Write Were I Cheekier

Dear [Professional Skills Class Instructor/Head of My Department],

Attached is the schedule whereupon I outline how I will be spending every minute of my next two weeks.  I hope to now address some of the questions and concerns you may have upon reading it.
  1. This schedule is not an accurate representation of my social life.  This is a complete anomaly.  I have literally never been so socially in-demand in my whole life.  It's as if the end of neuroscience was a supra-threshold depolarization and activities are rushing into my life like little sodium ions.*  In about two weeks (coincidentally, the time after which you no longer care how I'm spending every minute of my days), things will repolarize and I will go back to sitting around in my pajamas surrounded by books like the proper student you assumed I was when you admitted me to this program.
  2. Yes, I actually do get into my pajamas and go to bed that early.  I'm not sure if you really wanted to know what time I put on my pajamas, but I was hoping to be thorough.
  3. The pie I mentioned baking will be a cinnamon pie.  It is delicious and I can certainly bring one in should that make a difference in my grade in this course.
I hope this clears things up.  I am actually grateful for this assignment because it means I might actually go to the gym all of those times I said I was going to go to the gym.

Sincerely,

[My name, which most of you already know, but I don't want it to be super-searchable]



*This analogy should demonstrate to you that I actually am a huge nerd with no social life and it's totally weird that I'm going to all of these parties and dinners and brunches and concerts and stuff.
