United States Insanity I
Today was the first day of my United States History I class, which runs for three hours in one session each week, in the Fall 2005 semester. Upon my arrival, I entered the college, and I was shortly asked by the new old man’s face where the snacks, such as Coke and candy were located; the old man had scraggly grey/white facial hair and was dressed in an ugly work shirt. I told him where to go, and headed off to my classroom.
When I got to the classroom, I noticed a different old man, nicely dressed and standing in the doorway to the classroom, talking to one of the students. I thought, “He must be the instructor.” But this guy left and never returned. As I listened to my music, I waited with fellow students for a while, and then saw the return of the scraggly old man asking how to get on to the Internet with one of the lab computers. I explained that it was for students only, and that a password was needed, and I refused to give him access via my account; why should I break the rules by giving computer access to some crazy person off the street? Another student did as the guy requested, though. Time passed, and shortly after the assigned starting time of class, I was surprised to see what happened…
