Am I really this busy?

When I signed up for these summer classes I had no idea how difficult it would be to get to them on time.

I showed up to for my 5:30 PM U.S. History class today at 7:00 PM, interrupting the first lecture of the semester. I was ready to leave for dinner and school at 4:30 and was still waiting at 5:30. I knocked on the door to the dorm and asked what was going on. The guard said he didn't know but would find out. He never came back.


Around 6:15 another guard came in looking for a different guy who had class at the same time as I did. The guards in education were looking for him because he didn't show up for class. Neither of us had been to eat yet. Also, when I asked if they were missing me in education, he said no.So I showed him my lay-in, a printed pass for movement around the unit, but he still had doubts.

We stood in the hallway for twenty more minutes before the other guy was allowed to go to class. It took another five minutes to make a decision on my situation. They just wouldn't trust all the official paperwork I gave them, including the lay-in and the class sign-up sheet.

Finally I was able to go eat and go to class, an hour and half late.
