"You've achieved infamy as a sophomore" were the words that were uttered from Dave Shein's mouth, the dean of students...

So my cartoon was a hit, but apparently not to our president Leon Botstein...who read the cartoon and apparently was furious. "What do we know about this Emily Sauter" he asked Dave Shein...He thinks I have a creative genius but I can "go too far" he told me in my meeting with him this morning. I felt like i was in the principal's office. So now i have to apologize to Leon and I'll probably do it in my cartoon.
I mean, I did achieve infamy at Bard...that's hard to do...you really have to be an asshole to achieve it...so note to bard kids, make fun of Leon's sex life, and you're in.
Basically in my meeting the dean told me that it was libel and that i can't "cross lines" anymore. It's hard at Bard, you can make fun of everything...but apparently not Leon's sex life..Being sued for my first cartoon by Bard College would really suck.
"I didn't think Leon read the observer" I said...
"He reads it cover to cover" replied Dave Shein.
So now I'm being watched I'm sure...but it's all good...I have achieved infamy. I'm somebody. So they can watch me all they want. Go ahead...
