You’ve Got Credit!!!
Have you ever fantasised about the biggest coup of your life and imagined how it would actually happen?
Well, this coup I have never imagined but it was BIG indeed - at least in my view.
Get this: something I’ve written a long time ago and posted on the Internet is being used as part of a postgraduate dissertation!
The mail asking for permission to use my story came in some time yesterday but I only read it today because well, I’m not on the Net everyday.
It might have been a hoax, yes, so I did some search first. I recognised the name of the university (you kidding me? I salivate at the mention of this university) so I googled the department mentioned in the mail. What do you know, it was the first department of its kind ever established in the world, according to Wikipedia.
I am basking in the thrill of it all - I’ve gotten credits for what I have written!!!
Yeehaaa!!!
Then again, the student might be using it to talk about errors occurred in text written by a non-native English speaker, but what the hell. I’m credited in a dissertation!
