Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday

As I mentioned before, classes started Tuesday. I was excited. I had survived registration, probably one of the most stressful days of my life, and I had successfully navigated my way through the first half of my first day of being a REAL college student.
So I was feeling pretty good as I strolled into my Spanish class. I was about 15 minutes early, but "Hey, no problem," I thought, "I'll just wait until someone else shows up and then we'll waltz in there together and impress the professor with our promptness." Sure enough about 3 minutes later one of my friends walks up and asks if I'm taking Spanish. After the mutual "YES! That's awesome" we decided that it would be in our best interest to go on into the classroom. As we did so, it did strike us a little odd that the lights were off and that we were the only two there.

But just when we were beginning to worry two upperclassmen walked in and sat down behind us. Eager to meet people and make new friends my friend and I quickly engaged making dazzling conversation. After awhile though, we all began to look around uncomfortably. All of our clocks read 12:30, the time class was meant to start, but we were still the only four people in the room. 12:35, still no one. Where was the professor? Did we have the wrong room? Were we really the only four people in the class? Panic set in. Fanatically my three companions whipped out their smart phones and began to double check times, room numbers, and the number of student's signed up.
"Room 206?"
"Ya"
"It says it's full."
"Really?"
"Ya!"
"I don't understand. It SAYS Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday....."
"What?"
"Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday."
"Wait a minute...."
"....Oh."

The End.
