It's ok, I've got time...

In my school, classes are 2 hours each (sometimes just one hour, but mostly on Fri and Sat). You can know at what time do classes start in the engineering institute.

Classes start at 7am and every two hours till 1pm, there are no classes from 3pm to 4pm, then again starting at 4pm till 8pm, so the last class ends at 10pm...or at least that's how it used to be. Because of the insecurity in the city, for the last 4 or so semesters, so that people get out of school earlier, the last two classes of the day have been reduced to one and a half hours, so one is from 6pm to 7:30pm and the other is from 7:30pm to 9pm.

And when you're picking your classes they tell you it's either from 6 to 8, or from 8 to 10, but it's become sort of a mutual understanding that those last two only last 1.5 hours, even if the official schedules list them as being 2 hours long.

Well, today I didn't have my 6-7:30 class, teacher didn't go, and I was just hanging around the school till my next class started. Walked around the school, 6:30...went to the cafeteria for some chips, 6:50...bumped into a friend I hadn't seen in 2 years, 7:15...bumped into another friend who just had a children, 7:35...I say goodbye to him, I look at the time and think: "Ok, I still have 25 minutes, I might as well go walk around a bit more"............

I got to the class 30 minutes late...of course. Apparently my brain has not recorded the fact that those two last classes are shorter and that the last one actually starts at 7:30, why??? It's been like that for 2 years and I always think 8pm is time for the next class, and I'm not kidding, it has happened to me EVERY semester since they changed it.
