So, as the title of this post suggests, I feel kind of bad about the fact that I complained so much about having to be up early yesterday. I still think it sucks that I woke up so early for nothing, but it seems insignificant now that I know the reason the professor didnt show up is because his brother died! Poor professor, and he seems so sweet and the class is actually pretty interesting. This professor not only came out of retirement to teach this class, but he is also doing it for free, due to some beaurocratic difficulties... so he isn't just doing it because he has to, he really wants to teach this class... and he already called on me twice in class today after he found out I was American, not in an 'Im going to pick on her' kind of way... but to ask me if what he was saying applied to American "communities" or to translate the word 'hobo', which he knew what the translation was, but he asked me anyway...Now I know I have to be on my toes and make sure I don't make an idiot out of myself... but there are only about 20 of us in the class, if that, and almost all the people in this class were in my class last module, so it's nice.... I get a feeling I am going to be seeing the same faces a lot in the next 2 years!
So moral of the story: don't assume the prof. just didn't want to come or was trying to make your life more difficult (it happens out here) and I have to make sure to pay attention in class so he doesn't catch me off guard
I think I am really going to like this class!
