First day of a new semester The ' It was Monday, Jan., 16, the first day of the second semester. I forced myself to get up at 7:00 a.m. and dress. As I drank my early morning coffee, I heard a voice from the radio say that there was a chance of snow developing by midday. My pessimis- tic attitude warned me that something was bound to go wrong. I ■ walked out the door, crossed my fingers, took a deep breath and went on my way. When I arrived at my first class at Weiss Hall, I found a note on the door: class cancelled due to Martin Luther King Day. Well, I should have guessed. Since I had two free hours before my next class I decided to take care of some of the necessary first- day tasks. I went to Mitten Hall to have my I.D. validated. The building was crowded. Because of the snow a week earlier, walk-through registration was extended one day, and the lines for registration and drop add were especially long. Next, I went to the ticket office and waited in another long line to pick up my activities book. As I looked into the bookstore, I noticed students were already getting books and supplies. My two hours were over. As I went to my next class, I saw that it was snowing quite heavily. I rushed to Curtis Hall, but as luck would have it the class was cancelled— forever. Now I would have to go through drop add. The lines at Mitten Hall were twice as long as they were that morning. I filled out all the forms, went through all the lines and finally got another class. I looked at my watch. I was shocked. It was 3:00 p.m.! had been on campus for eight hours, and nothing had gone well. I left Mitten Hall, trudged through the ice and snow and wondered if the next day would be any better. In order to go through schedule revision, more commonly known as drop add, these students wait in line for a permit card. Another sign of the new semester is seeing tables in the lobby of SAC for credit card applications. 12 Spring Semester
