First Day of Class-KNUST
For my first day of class I had a open mind and no expectations. My first class was Mechanical Engineering Lab I which started at 10am. I arrived at roughly at 9:43. As time became closer to 10am I seen no professor or students. At that point I began ask students in the area I was in the right location for the class. I was in the area and about 10:20 students showed up and a professor. We all huddled outside in a area and was greeted by the professor. At that same time it was announced that there would be no lab today because students were still registering. All I could say was okay even though the last two weeks were strictly for registration of students. At that point the professor paired me with 2 girls who are 2ND year Mechanical Engineering students. They were so nice and helpful...trust me I was pretty lost of how most things work. At 11am I went to my next class which was Thermodynamics. This class was full of students and no teacher by 11:30. At that point a student of the class who they call "Preacher" got the class attention and said it would be a great time to pray for a good academic year. Everyone in this class went to praying individually and then join together in a Hymn. Then Preacher brought out his bible and told all to turn to 1 Corinthians 6:20 and began to minister. Some student definitely had their bible in the backpacks. I was thinking to myself...well im unprepared for class.lol. The things he was saying in his message were good point about life i began to take notes...Once he finished his message a young lady came to the class and said that class was cancelled. As of then their was no professor for the class and their in the process of finding one. After hearing that students began to leave....In all my years of school I have never witness a day of school like this...Im looking forward to what the future holds....
