I Survived

Well, it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I was almost late to class because I couldn't find a parking spot anywhere near the building my class was in, so I had to walk about fifteen minutes from the middle of nowhere to get to class. I wasn't the last person there though, and the professor hadn't even arrived yet when I got there, so no big deal.

Someone had actually brought her baby to class! Who brings a baby to class? A person who couldn't find a babysitter, I guess. Anyway, the professor didn't seem very pleased about this and made her sit with the baby outside of the lab, since there are Dangerous Chemicals and cadavers in the lab, so the school doesn't allow people to bring children into the lab (for good reason).

The professor herself seems to be very nice and bubbly. I liked her. My classmates, however...well, maybe it was just the table I was sitting beside. They were rude and continually chatted through class, so much so that I had a difficult time hearing the professor at times. I wanted to smack a couple of them upside the head. I think it's so disrespectful to talk when a teacher is talking, not to mention disruptive.

I think most of the girls sitting at my table will be okay though. Two of them, at least. The third was part of the annoying other table and proclaimed loudly that she wouldn't work with anyone else but her friends, even though she wasn't sitting at their table. Ugh. Hopefully she'll move in next week's lab to sit with them, and someone who isn't so annoying will be in our group instead.

Other than that, though, things weren't too bad. We got out fairly early, and then I just had to buy books and then go home.

I went to get a post office box since I just discovered a couple of cool sites (Swapbot and Postcrossing), but I'm not really comfortable giving out my home address to a bunch of strangers. I don't really go to the local PO very often, and now I remember why; the clerks there are so rude and annoying. It took me almost half an hour to get a post office box, and twenty-five minutes were the clerks talking to one another and ignoring their customers. Look, I know it's probably a boring job and it was kind of hot in there, but come on. I guess that's what happens when people have a monopoly: customer service isn't a big priority at all. That's why I generally drive seven or so miles out of my way to go to the St. Louisville post office instead, since the workers are so much nicer. Their lobby isn't open 24 hours a day though, so I didn't get my post office box there. Maybe I should have. :P

Anyway, today hasn't been that great. I'm off to study for a bit, I guess.
