Trouble

This semester, I'll be taking more classes at once than ever before. Each night after work, I'll head straight to school. Some days, I'll leave work 30 minutes early. Other days, I'll have to just leave right on time. And on Thursdays, I have to remember to take a lunch break to go to a lecture series. The tricky part here will be remembering that it is, in fact, Thursday. The days of the week tend to be a blur for me...

Not only do I have to remember when I have to leave work, but when I get to school, I have to head to the right classroom. This should be okay because most of my classes are in the same building. One of them, however, is in a different building on the other side of campus. For this class, I'll need to park in a different parking lot entirely. Again, it wouldn't be a huge deal, except for the fact that I won't leave work until the very last minute. Scariest part of that? Right now, I couldn't tell you which class that is, or which day it is on. What will be my first class on Wednesday? No idea. Is that the class in the other building? I don't think so, but it could be.

Sigh.

Four nights of classes per week. Fifteen weeks of classes. What are the odds that I'm going to head to the wrong class one of these days? I'm taking a poll...see the bar on the right...if we were a gambling people, I'd take bets.

Even more likely to occur than going to the wrong class is me leaving work too late and ending up walking in late to class, which is something I don't love to do. It makes me feel like just not going to class. That is not a strategy I want to employ this semester, and certainly one that my parents would not endorse.

You will figure it out. It is a universal fear to forget going to class or something like that. Everyone has the fear, but they seem to attend class this semester.

Walking in to class late is a regular occurrence for lots of people. Hold your head up high and enter with confidence.

Besides, I don't see you entering late more than once, if at all. It's just not you.

I had one semester where all my classes were IN THE SAME ROOM. 2-5pm, every day. It was weird. The professors the first week were like, "Okay, you can go!" and we were saying, "Sorry! You're the one who leaves! We stay." It got really boring, though, so I think I'd rather have your problem.
