So I "ditched" class last night.
I felt like I was helping organize a prison break.
I won't name any names but some professor apparently forgot that he/she moved the class start time from 6:30 pm to 6pm. So at about 6:05pm when he/she still hadn't shown I said,"I bet [s]he forgot that [s]he moved the start time from 6:30pm to 6pm. If we leave at 6:29pm we're home free" [we had agreed at the beginning of the quarter to wait a half hour for him/her in the event of an absence bc the class only meets once a week.] So basing our movements on one of the guys cellphone's time we made our escape. At 6:31pm I and the owner of the cellphone stood up and said, "everyone on your feet, it's time to go." We slipped out of the room single file, up the back staircase, single file, through magazine and newspaper stacks single file. We checked and the space between the final stack and the door was clear. We made a dash for it, hoping disaster didn't await us on the other side of the doors, around the corner of the library, down the hill and home free. :)
[please note that we waited the full time agreed upon in our verbal contract before exiting the building.]

I am profoundly impressed by that, and wish that I could have experienced it as well. Seriously.

The true gem of lawyerly heartedness comes at the end in brackets. There is nothing better a full-fledged lawyer would dare add to that statement. *sigh* What a gem!
