The Fateful Story of My Art History Class
When I signed up for Dominican Art History Class at la UASD (the huuuuge public university here that looks exactly like University of Hawaii or a Cali State School), I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I registered for the class in January, and was told that the class would start January 18th. Stoked. Soon after, I received a cryptic email that said that classes at la UASD would be postponed until the following week with no explanation. Okay, sounds good. Soon, I received a similar email: Classes postponed until the following week. So, the first week of February, a few friends of mine who are also in the class and I went to la UASD to find the classroom (a near impossible experience) and were told after a significant amount of confusion that our teacher was sick, class was cancelled, and we were to come back the next week. So the next week, we came back...guess what? Teacher still sick! Lucky for us, she had left us a reading to do. Great. Next Thursday, we returned to la UASD with no idea what to expect. There was a teacher in the classroom who informed us that he had just found out he was now teaching our Art History Class the hour before. He asked us if we had read anything for the class and when one student showed him our reading packet, he goes, "Ahh. Yes..this looks good. Keep reading this. Come back next week to discuss." With that, class was over. Yesterday, we returned to la UASD for class and...guess who wasn't there? The teacher. We waited around for about 30 minutes before someone informed us that apparently the teacher was at a graduation ceremony. Ohhhh. Okay. So we are two months into study abroad, and I have not even started one of my classes. But no worries! Instead of class, I can just go to the beach. :)
