Physics was interesting today. We all got there on time and everything, and there was part of a lab set up and we were supposed to get our midterm scores back. But Sharon (GSI) wasn't there. So we just sat down and waited a while. Around 12:15 we started getting a little antsy cuz she's never late. At 12:30 my friend Denise started saying that we should just leave (she had a project she needed to work on for CS anyway), so I convinced her to stay until 12:45 and we started the crossword in the Daily Cal. Around 12:40 someone in the class finally says, "So how long are we all going to stay here?" And then some guy from the front of the class says he'll write a note on the board saying we were there and about half of the class leaves. So, he writes the note saying we stayed until 12:45pm but didn't know what to do without her there so we were going to leave. At this point, about half the class leaves. (Some guy comes running in right about now, all out of breath, only to find no class going on.)
Denise and I decide to check the GSI office/tutoring room, but she's not there either. Meanwhile, one of the guys has gone into the side room (where the other GSIs hang when a class is using the lab) to ask them if they knew where Sharon was. So Denise and I get back and find the guy saying that the other GSIs don't know where she is either. Then a GSI from Bogg's lecture (I'm in Yu's) comes out and reiterates what the guy just said and tells us that she can give us the worksheet we were doing that day which was Fluid Dynamics but she can't give us scores or anything. Thing is, turns out our class is ahead of the rest of the sections, since we had already done that worksheet. So now the other GSI is at a loss.
Next, the head GSI came into the lab, heading for the side room and kinda slowed down as he saw us. He keeps staring at us--picture half a section, gathered at the front of the lab wearing backpacks and mystified expressions, all directed at him now--as the GSI who was talking to us ushers him into the side room and closes the door. A few seconds later, he comes out just as Sharon walks through the door. It was 12:55.
So we got our midterms back, got the worksheet, and left.
Woohoo!! I just found out! PG & E owes us money!! LOTS of money!!! They totally overcharged Nancy, Alice and I this summer when we had that gigantic payment. So, now they owe us $50!!! Haha, so basically, Alice, Nancy and I payed for FIVE months of power in July. Dude.
*muah*!
