Until, you get lost in one of the campus's buildings. That's right Lee, I'm talking about your eponymous gift to Lehigh, Iacocca Hall.
I took the bus up to Iacocca (it's separated from the main campus, to those not acquainted with Lehigh jargon), because my earth science lab was going to be held there. Our T.A. didn't instruct us to go to a certain place in the building, just to get there at 1:10 and to wear comfortable clothing. I arrived promptly, I wore sneakers and three layers of long-sleeve T-shirts.
I step off the bus, and not knowing where to go, I follow those in front of me. I suspected some of them were heading to the same lab as I was, while a few others were there for other courses (chemical engineering).
The door opens to a loooooong corridor. The girl we were following then turns around and asks us (three or four others) if we're all there for the earth science lab. Nods, murmurs.
Should we keep walking or go downstairs? We go downstairs and yet another long corridor full of labs, but no sign of undergraduate students.
What seemed like an hour later (ok, so five minutes later) we reach the main entrance and, lo and behold, students were gathered outside in groups of four or five. Phew.
I then notice the T.A. is not my T.A. (maybe this is the T.A. from the other section, I thought to myself). Also, why do the students look so different from those in my section? hmm...(I had just woken up from a nap and had drank a cup of coffee so I felt sedated and adrenalized simultaneously).
Once I joined a group and was explained the objective of the outside activity, I volunteered to be the transcriber. Midway, however, I ask my group, "I've never seen you guys in my section, am I in the right lab?"
"Oh, the other lab section is inside, they're going outside after we're done," said one girl.
Ahhh, I see.
The good thing: I wasn't the only one who went with the wrong lab section.
The bad thing: I'm a junior, most of the students are freshmen.
Enough said.
