Still waiting

Well, Tuesday is here but freshman classes haven't commenced. It makes no difference to Yau Neih, since she doesn't have any classes scheduled on Tuesday. ('Tis a nice thing, in and of itself, but she pays for it on Thursday when she has six hours in the classroom plus English corner in the evening.) Our neighbor Michael, on the other hand, got a day off. Well, almost. It seems nobody send him the proverbial memo, so he traipsed out to the building and discovered (along with one or two students who were likewise uninformed) that classes had been cancelled. When he told us that it looked like the powers that be had dumped some gravel between the bridge and the building. An improvement over the mud field, I suppose, but given all the rain we've been having, I don't know how much of one. So now the question is, will we have classes tomorrow?
