You know that dream where you find yourself sitting naked in class?  Or where you arrive at class and discover that there is a major exam you didn’t know about, and everyone is prepared but you?  What about the one where you arrive for class and find the room completely empty?  Well, that happened to me for real today.

I set my alarm to wake up at 8:30 this morning, but since I’d had a two week break from school it was tough to get out of bed, even at that time.  But I did, and gathered my things and rode my bike to campus, arriving at precisely 9:35.  I thought it was odd that I didn’t see hundreds of other students wandering around, entering or exiting buildings and talking on their phones.  But I thought perhaps I was simply late, and everyone else had already found where they needed to be.  But when I entered Carlton Auditorium I found it deserted.  I took out my computer and checked the University’s online calendar, and, sure enough, classes begin Tuesday.
