Wills, Trusts, and Estates class was canceled. Of course, I didn’t figure that out until after I showed up for class and nobody else was there.

I called my friend and asked if class had been canceled. She said that it had been and that our professor said so at the end of last class. So I opened up my notes from last class and read, “NO CLASS NEXT WEEK!!! DON’T FORGET!!!”

I showed up to class ten minutes early because I had nothing else to do, I hung around the classroom to see if anybody else might have forgotten…which would have made me feel a little less incompetent.

Finally, two minutes before class was (not) set to begin, somebody showed up and said, “Where is everybody?”

“Class was canceled,” I said.

“Really? I don’t remember Prof. O saying that.”

“Who’s Prof. O?” I asked.

“Wait a second. I’m on the ninth floor, aren’t I? Wrong floor! Never mind!”

She had meant to go to room 805, not 905…leaving me the only student in a class of 100 who had forgotten about the cancellation.

(By the way…I’m reading through the Cartoon Caption Contest entries…I think y’all can do better….)
