Today I arrived in Poetry class to discover that, out of the 40 students in my class, only 18 were present. Eighteen! That’s less than half. I actually felt rather bad for my prof, who actually delayed teaching us anything new knowing that over half the class would miss a lesson.
I’ll admit it was nice that we all got a chance to talk, but much of the class was broken up by long silences when we ran out of ideas. I really wonder where all those people were. I know that the Thanksgiving break is close, but I sincerely doubt that 22 people were all traveling. I suppose, the weather was also pretty sucky today, making our warm beds even more magnetic, but it wasn’t that hard to get to class.
This really makes me wonder what tomorrow will be like, even closer to the break, and right at the end of midterm season. I wonder how all the profs feel.
Well, for those of you that are going to class, I’ll see you there!
P.S. I start work tomorrow! Wish me luck in all my filing endevours!
