Class, anyone?

Tonight was my first night of class for the summer semester, a class which is supposed to meet 6:10 to 9:40. Tonight we were to meet on the 4th floor of the library; I got there at quarter to 6 and no one was there. I was beginning to wonder if I was at the wrong place because the professor gave no specific room number; just the 4th floor of the library. But finally, people started showing. And then, at about 6:15, we realized the professor was still not there. We waited. 6:20. 6:25. Finally someone called his office on a cell phone and got the assistant. The professor had a sudden trip out of town because a family member passed away.

Ok, fine. But why didn't this guy tell us somehow? But the story gets even better.

So the assistant tells us we are meeting in ANOTHER building at 7:00. So we all travel in a herd to that building and wait for the sub. She shows up, we start heading for the class...

...only to discover that there is a class already in there til 8 and that another class will follow. So then the sub went looking for another room. We needed a room with computers, so not just anything would do. As it ended up we met in a classroom with no computers, she took roll, we talked about a few minor technology issues relating to the course, and were dismissed by 7:30.

What a fun evening. And to add to all the fun, I had to drive to an off-campus bookstore this afternoon to get one of my books, even though I ordered them online. The one book had been backordered, and I needed it by tomorrow. So not only did I have to pick up my books I ordered at the campus bookstore, I had to drive to the College Bookrack during rush hour traffic.

What a day.
