Strike! - part two

That is, what happened last Friday. First of all, when my classmate and I set out to our civilization courses for the afternoon, we discovered that the building was locked because of the strike. Fortunately, we ran into some other classmates who weren't going to attend the afternoon courses but informed us that they had been moved to another building. We trekked over to this building, already ten minutes late, to find the professor trying to get the key to unlock the amphitheater for the course. So we waited with the other students in the hall.

Finally he had the key, he came and unlocked the room, and we all filed in. Tae and I had not yet sat down when the professor informed us, "Don't bother taking out your things, because it's useless. I'm on strike and cannot teach this course today."

He did offer to take questions if we had them, and to email us the notes for that day's course.

I don't know. Maybe there's some policy about making strike announcements in the mere hall of the building.

Anyway, looks like some of our Tuesday and Friday afternoon classes will be out this week as well. The students are determined to beat down the CPE.

Tune in tomorrow for all the exciting weekend details!
