Tardy Professors

◊ If I had a dime for each time my professors were late,were not prepared, or did not show up for class at all I would have a couple of dollars by now. Email is a beautiful thing. Is it so hard to send you classes an email stating that you are running off to Egypt for a week to participate in some sort of conference? This is getting ridiculous. In other news, this weather is just unbelievable. It's like God suddenly realized that he forgot to change the season here, and so he punched the 'Emergency Spring Button' on his keyboard. The difference between last week and this one is phenomenal. Birds (besides pigeons) are showing up and I saw that the plants are beginning to grow. I know that I sound like a broken record, but the change happened so quickly and so drastically. On the downside, I have learned firsthand why clean-up-after-your-dog laws are so important in cities. I walk past a park to get to class and the thaw has thawed everything. The stench is very bad. People do no stay off the grass here because that is the rule, but because of the high probability of stepping in something.
