you know you’re getting old when…

you’re mad that a class has been cancelled.

Gone are the days when that meant being about to goof off. I paid for the class. And a cancelled class means that I just travelled 30 minutes out of my way, only to travel back…to go to work, no less!

    I prefer to think of it, not so much as I’m getting older when…but that I’m getting more financially responsible and efficient with my time.

    another class cancellation annoyance — when the cancelled class is rescheduled at an inconvenient time.

    best cancellation situation — the registrar emails you about the cancellation before you leave the house!

    frankly — any cancellation would be a good one at the moment. i’m brain dead.

    During one class my first semester in grad school, the professor spent nearly an hour talking about how she used to be a basketball groupie in college. As an undergrad, I would have been amused. As a paying grad student, I was infuriated that she would waste my time like that when I was all prepared to talk about the social construction of mental health.
