I'm going to say this every other post, just so you don't miss it.

Me: Hi, I was wondering if you could give me instructor consent to be in your course next semester.
Head of the Creative Writing Department: Are you sure you want my section and not the other one?
Me: You are the only section next semester.
Head of the Creative Writing Department: Oh that's right, the other professor couldn't do it for...wait a minute...next semester...you mean the fall? Well, before I can approve you, I'll need a sample of your work with your name, email address, and ID, so come back with that.
Me: Do you mean fiction or poetry, because the course description didn't specify?
Head of the Creative Writing Department: We're going to be doing poetry and creative non-fiction.
Me: I'll wait until she approves me, and then I'll tell her that creative non-fiction is an oxymoron. Actually, I have some poetry right here, with my information at the top *I hand her a sampler*.
Head of the Creative Writing Department: Great, and when do you need a reply by?
Me: Well, registration starts the 21st.
Head of the Creative Writing Department: The 21st! I'm not ready for the fall semester! Take a look at my desk. You see all those folders? Those are all projects that I'm in charge of that have to get done in the next few months.
Me: Um, I'm sorry...if you could just send me a reply by email...
Head of the Creative Writing Department: Yeah, I'll send you an email.
