Snow Day in August

Today was the oddest of days. Despite getting up at 6AM to go to an extra didactic session this morning, our first two lectures where canceled because the clinician could not get to the university to lecture. I am assuming that something came up for the doc and he or she had to deal with that. Additionally, they closed the library mid-morning, then they sounded the fire alarm and evacuated the entire campus. I've never been in a real fire-alarm situation before. We all piled out of the study room we were studying in and stood at the street. The fire department came, so we decided to head to my place to get some studying done. The administration then closed the entire campus and made everybody go home because they had some sort of electrical problem (?) and, to resolve it, they had to shut off the power to the entire campus. So all of our other lectures were canceled too.

This was great for today! But it is going to bite us in the butt when we have to make up the missed lectures at some abscure and inopportune time. It is funny how things change! Before, when we had a closing or class canceled in undergrad, I was happy, but now, I am a bit disappointed because A) they will shove these lectures into our already busy enough schedule and B) I think it is important information we missed out on (i.e. colon cancer and common rectal diseases and injuries).
