Class Time: TBA

Today is the first day of classes here. However, one of my courses has the meeting time listed as TBA. I find this mind-boggling. The course has no time and no location.

I don't have any classes on Mondays so I decided to search for the history office and find out what's going on with TBA.

Step 1: Contact advisor (Thursday)

Class exists. Should hear about meeting time before classes start.

Step 2: Find contact info for professor. (Thursday)

Fail. No contact info on the university's website. Must be a Fulbright or a visiting faculty member.

Step 3: Ask the history office. (Monday)

Somewhat successful. I asked around once I got to the history building. The door was unmarked. There was one person in there. I had no idea how to explain my problem in Turkish so she handed me a phone so I could explain it to someone who spoke English. I was told to contact my advisor, whom I had previously asked about this conundrum.

Step 4: Contact advisor again (Monday)

This is normal. Happens quite often. The class may not start until next week. I now have contact info for the visiting prof.

Step 5: Contact prof (Monday)

Tuesday: News from the prof... we get to pick our meeting time. Awesome!

In other news, this is an Obama cookie. Yes, an Obama cookie. We spotted them at a bakery near campus and thought it was a must.
