I've finally experience my first college experience of getting to start my weekend early because of no class on a friday afternoon. I'll be honest, the minute I heard that the speaker for the presentation didn't show up last year, I was hoping for a repeat. There would be nothing better then turning in for the weekend early. Outside of the fact that I had a hard cross country practice later that afternoon, things were good...
But as I sat here this weekend, I was thinking...Is it really a good thing that this presentation keeps getting skipped? The presenter shows up 15 minutes late to a class that is heading out the door to ask if we have signed our honor code sheets. Of course we signed them, and that was it. Is that the kind of presentation that should truly being given about the honor code? It is a very important aspect of a liberal education and to just brush over it with little importance seems wrong. Granted, no one like sitting through presentations like that, myself included. However, the fact that the presentation was aligned, to just be cancelled doesn't seem right.
It was great to have an extended weekend by two hours where I could play ping-pong instead of have class, but it really got me thinking about how things are...
So the honor council did show up after all?
