The Idiot's Guide to Contemporary World

Alright, so today didn't go as planned or as I expected it to. I awoke to the voice of everyone's favorite oriental dorm mother shouting my name from the other side of my door. I rolled back over, seeing as I didn't have class until 12:30. Rest assured good people that I did find Mom Chu later and took care of what she needed. I got out of bed around 9:45 and proceeded to fight my curling iron, the washing machiene, and the bookstoore- not all at one, I can assure you. Modern Brit. was cut short and I got to go eat lunch, but I had forgotten my ID in the room, so a kind stranger allowed me to use his.
Nothing could have prepared me for what would happen in Contemporary World at 2 o'clock however. I walk in to the class just a few minutes prior to said time, and who is standing at the front of the class? Not Dr. Bowen my favorite Prof of all time. Instead, a person that shall remain naimless (for those of you that do attend my school and read this), and also happens to be my least favorite instructor of all time next to the dinosaur from algebra is standing at the desk in the front of the classroom.
This woman makes Mad-Eye Moody look sane okay?! It doesn't matter that the last class I had with her was called American Heratige, it should be called The Klan in America: Past, Present, and Future. In American Heritage, she assured us that the goverment was conspiring with said organization.
As my wonderful roommate pointed out, it's not to late to change my schedule.
The reason for Dr. Bowen's absence is that he has been recalled to active duty to take the place at a Fort here in Arkansas of another man going to Iraq. Dr. Bowen has already served a tour in Iraq, and he and his wife have just had the addition of a baby boy named Samuel to their family. I am thankful he doesn't have to go back to Iraq, but I can't help wanting my Proffesor back.

That sucks. Sorry to hear it wasn't going as well as planned. Find something else you rather take at that hour. Could you swith you 8 o'clock to that time so you don't have to get up so early?
