Well…
today marked my first day of fall semester. I gave myself what I thought was
plenty of time to arrive on campus and make it to my classroom. Unfortunately I
forgot that like 90% of students choose to attend class during the first week,
and thus the traffic is quite treacherous. I parked as quickly as I could;
leaving around three minutes to get about a half a mile’s walk to our
designated classroom. I consulted a screen shot of my schedule (including
classroom buildings and numbers) I had taken months ago on my phone to make
sure I was headed to the proper room. Unfortunately the screen shot was, much
to my surprise, outdated.
I
burst ferociously into the classroom (about four or so minutes late) and
proceeded to drop my keys and pens on the floor right inside the door. I
frantically picked everything up then noticed the professor was not who I was
expecting to see. I stood up and did what any eloquent American would do and
said loudly, “ummmmm.” It caused the lecturer to stop what he was saying and
stare at me. I mumbled something about being in the wrong room and then backed
out of the class.
Fortunately
in this day and age, we have technology at our finger tips and I was able to
log on to my phone and see that indeed our classroom had changed… to a room
clear across campus. I speed-walked to my destination and arrived about ten
minutes after class had started. I was met with a smile from my favorite
professor thankfully. I then selected what appeared to be the only seat left in
the room, right next to this boy who had fingernails longer than Freddy Krueger’s.
I thought about asking him to scratch that spot in the middle of my back which I
can never quite reach but decided against it.
In
other news I quit caffeine like two weeks ago… This is what I am currently
indulging in; yes a bucket sized energy drink.
It went well with my coffee
yesterday, and the day before and the day before. So I guess what I really mean
to say is… I tried to quite caffeine but looks like I stepped up my game when
the idea of never enjoying my drug of choice again terrified me.
