CS hod: to get all important notices and information, join our WhatsApp group.
Me: can you send those important notices via email?
hod: *describes how impractical it is for her to pick email addresses one by one and send them*
Me: *wonders if she has ever heard about mailing lists*
ofc I am not planning to install whatsapp, I have asked some classmates who've agreed to forward imp info on telegram.
