Whoops

Here’s a new one: I went through two classes today, and then came back to my dorm room. I looked at my watch as I was coming in the door and wondered aloud: “Did my watch stop or something?” It was way too early. I was so focussed on the lab report I had to do that I had forgotten I had only been to 2 classes instead of 3. It doesn’t end there, though. Oh no, this Monday had more Alex-mocking to do.

I hurried back to my already-in-progress chem class and threw open the door, ready to sit down, and it wasn’t my usual professor in the room. I quickly exited, but after a split second realized I knew everyone in the class - it was just a different instructor. A substitute professor on the one day I almost forget to go to the class. I stood around outside for a while, wondering how to go back in after poking my head in and practically running the other way.

I slinked back in to the room, and immediately began taking notes, any hope for respect from the class shattered into a million tiny weird-day pieces.

i really wish i had been in that class just to see that, just knowing how petrified you would have been about that would have made me laugh

Can't top the "Friday Stare" of mine. But yes, I can see how embarassing that is for you Alex. Great way to start the week!
