When I woke up this Monday morning, I felt like just slamming my alarm clock and going back to sleep. But I knew I had four classes and a 10 hour day to start the week, so there was no choice but to wake up.
I ended up heading in really early today, seeing as how my first class started at 10AM. So from 8AM forward I sat around, listened to some tunes and did some reading.
At around 9AM I walked over to the Agora bookstore to pick up one of the last books I needed, which just came in. So I get there, pull on the door handle and: it's locked.
Who the fuck opens at 10AM? Is it just me or is that a really random hour for opening a store in the morning?
Either way, now having displaced myself needlessly I went back to campus and parked myself in class. Of course, by the time 10 o'clock rolled around everyone opened their laptops to find an email from the prof simply stating:
Your professor is sick, therefore there is no class today. Until Wednesday!
My next class? 1PM. Amount of time I ended up wasting this morning? Five hours. And then of course I had class until 7PM.
The highlight of the day however came in my last class of the day, German.
Nearing the end of the session, it was time to go over what we'd learned in the past hour with partners/neighbors and so forth. That is until our professor decided to pick a pair of students to carry out a full on conversation in front of everyone. It looked something like this:
Frau Lyon: So, to put what we've learned into practice, we will have Caroline and, euhhh Jayme, converse with each other.
Me: Scheiße.
I'm sure you can figure out the rest. Although it went pretty well. I was pretty tired and mixed up a couple verb tenses but the general conversation went well - and quite funnily. Considering our professor was trying to get me to score a phone number, whether fake or real.
Eventually it degenerated into me talking about how I love strudels. It's not my fault they're delicious.
Tuesday cometh, meaning I have to work. Damn it.
Auf Wiedersehen!
