9:24- I walk in, compared to other classes this one is pretty well attended. There are a handful of people here already.
9:28- It might be a bad thing but every time I come into any class the first thing I do is look at the clock. If a teacher does not show up within the first fifteen minutes of class you do not have to stay. Were 17 minutes away from freedom.
9:31- He has arrived. It sucks that class has to happen again today.
9:32- He announces this is our last class for the semester. We will have individual meetings from now on. That is great news.
9:38- We have an 1800 word essay due Thursday. That is not great news.
9:40- The kid one row ahead of me, and a seat to the right is playing chess. I will keep you updated on his game as we go along.
9:43- He is in a bit of trouble, he just lost his queen.
9:50- This class is unique compared to my others, everyone is usually up and paying attention. We ask questions and take notes.
9:51- Checkmate, game computer. Its all good though he just started over.
9:56- This professor is an odd character. He wrote a novel and always flaunts the fact that he is a "professional writer." However he always wears a vest to class. That assures me that I am a better human being than he is. A vest is a sign of weakness to me. It tells you that he is worried about being cold but he doesn't want to wear something that will make him too hot.
10:05- He just lost again. This class is very tough.
10:13- This kid loves computer chess, and God bless his little heart because he sucks.
10:18- The professor tried to get on to Google. He failed twice because he misspelled Google.
10:20- The amount of e-mails this school sends out is ridiculous. I am not a junior so I should not be getting an e-mail for juniors.
10:28- He is still on Google, he has not said a word in the past fifteen minutes. An awkward silence has blanketed this class with the exception of the sounds of fingers typing.
10:30- I want to use this time to ask the government to ban the "Saved by Zero" Toyota commercials. If I have to hear SAAAAAVVVVEEEDD BYYYY ZEEERROOOO one more time, I will start killing baby penguins or something until it stops.
10:33- The kid is still playing chess.
10:40- Class is ending and he just got up from the chair. We just spent 12 minutes waiting for our teacher to fail at trying to find something online. He failed and failed miserably.
10:45-Departure.
