Recap: Light in February

When entering the classroom for chem discussion today, I find myself completely alone in a dark room. Given my previous experiences this month, my first reaction was: Did I miss something in the schedule, AGAIN? But while entering I recalled seeing one of the guys from my discussion session (by the way, chem sessions=periods where the TAs, i.e. Teacher's Aid or Teacher's Assistant, hands out practice problems for you to do and go over main concepts covered this week) arriving so that was marginally reassuring.

Marginally.

And then people from the discussion showed up. Which was much more reassuring. At this point we are still standing in a large-ish, very much dark room, and I thought that I should probably turn the light on before people stumble around anymore than they're already doing. The only problem is that I don't know where the light switches are so--sidling around the walls of the chem room, attempting to find the light switch, I came across three switches that looked like likely candidates. Before I reached out and actually flipped them the other direction, I remembered Lusine's story with the calc room from last year, and looked around somewhat warily. There were no computers in the room. The only thing that was plugged in was a projector which is off anyway. Seemed okay, so I flipped the switches.

And all the lights actually went on.

The horror the horror. Hey it's Friday, I have to write SOMETHING that involves a climax, however minimal.

No, not really. More like just a note to myself that this is my first time in college of leaving a class early because the person in charge wasn't here.
