What a day
Jan. 26th, 2007 04:07 pmSo I knew today wasn't going to be the best ever even before I woke up. When I did it was just as cold as predicted, just as early as always and I still had my first test (and incidentally the final for one of my courses) for this semester to go and take. I can handle it, it's ok. Test wasn't too bad but I still had to be at school for five more hours, 4 of which were classes. I have to say there are definitely more exciting things to do for two hours then listen to a pathologist drone about what can go wrong with the gravid uterus and the placenta. While certainly two hours of red blood cell abnormalities is actually more interesting than it sounds it's a tough way to end a Friday.
Apparently this cake of a day needed some icing though... the water main right outside of school broke just after everyone arrived for the exam this morning. This meant that all 240 students (not including 4th years cause they're in clincals) on campus and all the staff and faculty had no usable bathrooms. Not to mention that if there was a fire no sprinkler systems and no working fire hydrants. Plus there was a new, rapidly freezing river stretching across route 30, ending in a lake on the lawn. They kept us there, with no restrooms for all 7 hours that we were supposed to stay, the hospital is still going and just finally got port-a-potties around the time I left at 3pm. I have no clue what the administration was thinking.
