Professor R.

So my second day of classes was like D: My first class was a morning class from 8:00am-10:45am. I went to sleep so late and awoke at 2am restless for unspecified reasons... With this having happened, I was forced to pop a "No Doz" pill to stay awake in my 2hr45min Chemistry class. To top that, I woke up sneezing with a runny/stuffy nose, watery & itchy eyes. I'm not complaining about my morning because it wasn't what I would define as "horrible" but it could have gone better if I changed a few things such as going to bed earlier.... And I still looked fucking fabulous!!! Puffy eyes and all! ;)

 After my first class I was on my way to the math department to see if my evening class was still on. Today classes after "5:01" are cancelled because of Rosh Hashshanah/Yom Kippur one of those things. But apparently my class isn't an "evening class" because it starts at 5:00pm what type of mess is that?! Lol. Anywho, I was advised to go check with my professor because some professors had cancelled their 5pm classes. I walked around looking like a lost puppy not able to find "Professor Staff" because there was no such person by the name of "Professor Staff" I was perplexed when I came to realization because that's what my schedule had said.  Next to "Introduction to Statistics" there was the last name "Staff", I'll tell you all how this came about....

 So there I stood on the 3rd floor of building B in the mathematics department walking back and forth throught the corridors for damn near a half hour looking for the office door that said "Prof. Staff" while all of professors and staff laughed with each other. Taking my last stroll down the hall to make sure I hadn't missed a door, a woman walks out of her office, she asks me if I'm looking for someone because she had seen me walk back and forth so many times and I looked like I was lost. I told her that I was looking for a Prof. Staff and handed her my schedule, she giggled and told me that there wasn't a Prof. Staff and that it just said "Staff" where the professors name should've been because my schedule was printed before the college had set a  professor for that class. She then proceeded to walk me to the help dept. for math and then and there is where I found out who my professor was. I don't know how to pronounce or spell his name, so right now I'll call him Prof. R! 

So I after I knew who my professor was, I proceeded to his office "3089" only to find out he wasn't there and he had a 12:30 class and wouldn't be on campus til around that time. D: I really wanted to wait but I just couldn't because I needed to head out for... A JOB INTERVIEW!!!! :D  my interview was at 2pm and I wouldn't have enough time to get there if I waited on my professor to get in. I left and I went looking for the bus I was supposed to take to get there. On the way there I stopped at my favorite water fountain on campus! It's just so purty! 
Here's a selfie of course! 
Here's the fountain
 After I sat by the fountain for a few, I finally went to wait for the bus that I needed to take to get to my interview. When I walked into the supermarket I looked around for someone that might look like a manager (i.e. a different color shirt or different clothing) I found the woman named Carol that I had spoken to the previous day. She was the one who told me to come in today at 2pm. She asked me to have a seat and wait for her and I did so. She finally came back to me,not after too long and asked me a few questions. She seemed like she really didn't have time to give me her attention. She then explained that there was someone on their way from the sanitation dept to come and inspect and that's when I realized that my interview was going to have to be rescheduled. I rescheduled it and I was on my way back to my school for my evening class. 

I got to my school and I had a whole 3hrs for leisure time. I decided to go to the library to charge my phone which had like 5% at the time, and on my way there I bumped into Elias!!!!! Elias has been a good friend of mine since 11th grade! He has never failed to make me laugh and we always have interesting conversations when we see each other! It was so good to catch up with him! I wish that I'd gotten a picture with him but I probably talked too much until it was time for him to go to his class! Haha! In honor of me not getting a picture with him, I'll post one that we took senior year!
Stay awesome friend!!! Hope to see you on campus again very soon! 

From the moment he left I spent the rest of my time in the library until about 4:00. My mom called me to inform me that there had been an opening for another Statistics class for an earlier time so I wouldn't have to wait from 10:45 to 5:00 to go to class. I went to registrar, saw my cousin Bri there and waited on line with my add/drop form filled out ready to change classes. After about 10 minutes of me being in line , my mother called me again and told me that she feels that I should stay with the Statistics class that I already have because the professor(Professor R) had better ratings than the one I was going to add to my schedule. Got off line, went back into the library and waited for 4:45. 

As I'm waiting, there was this obnoxious noise coming from some part of the building I guess. Obnoxious it was but it really didn't bother me in the two hours that it continuously went on and off. Some guy came over to near where I was sitting and asked me if the noise would stay on and if so for how long because he had been trying to study in another part of the library but it was too loud. I told him that I wasn't sure and apologized.... The reaction he gave me after me doing so, is the same one a few different people give me. He said to me, "Did you just say sorry?" I said "Uhh...yeahhh.." He goes, "Why? You don't have anything to be sorry for, you havent done anything." Then I tried my best to explain to him that it's just a force habit for me to say sorry when things aren't going right I guess. For instance, if Sally asked me for an extra pen in class, I would say something along the lines of "I don't have one, I'm sorry."Or if Johnny asked me if I knew when the next bus would arrive, would say "No, I'm just here waiting for it. I'm sorry.." Like I don't know why I say it so much. Maybe it's because that's all I've heard my whole life when things didn't go as planned. It was always "I'm sorry Rodjaney." Or "Thats not fair! I'm so sorry!" People have told me that so much in my life especially in the last 8 years.... I remember wanting to go on a trip in 4th grade with my class and this is one of the first "Im sorry"'s that I remember getting from someone...

"Mom, my 4th grade class is going on a trip to DC for some days, here's the permission slip and description of it. It's like $600 but you don't have to pay it at once. My teacher says you can pay it in intrevals(I remember not being able to repeat that word no matter how much my teacher drilled it into our heads so we could go back and tell our parents) can I? Please?", "I'm sorry I don't have $600 right now..." Do you think I went on that trip or nah?

Like sorry is not even a word to me, hence me still saying it at everything. I don't like when people apologize to me, but I still do it. That word to me, doesn't have it's meaning anymore especially if you've done me wrong. I'll most likely continue to tell people sorry but I will try to control it more, especially after today... Continuing with my day.....

When it hit 4:45 I started to head off to my math class that began at 5pm. When I got into my class there were a few students there, no Prof R. I remember looking at the clock and it was 4:57 and I said to the girl next to me "3 more minutes til class" I think I was the only excited one there #FreshmanStruggles! 5:00 hit, no Prof R.... Then 5:10, still no Prof R. Mind you the whole time the class was silent as ever until one student spoke up around 5:12... I guess there's a rule that if your professor isn't there after 15 minutes you could leave? Well that's what the kid said. He stated that he wouldn't wait any longer on the professor after 5:20 so we all decided that since we wanted to leave that it would be best if we started an attendance sheet and after everyone signed it, I took it to the head of the math dept. and I went home.

So let's sum everything up... I had Chemistry from 8am-10:45am then I had an interview at 2pm that lasted like 20 minutes, went back to the school waited for NUMEROUS HOUR for my 5pm class only for my professor not to show up.... Kick ass day right? Yeah I know! That's just a day in the life of RODJANEYYYYYY! Thanks for reading about my day guiseeeee! Look forward to sharing every other day with y'all! GOODNIGHT!
