college life?

we wanted to go for a trip to an amusement park. have been wanting to it for four frickin' semesters now. something or the other would keep cropping up, and it kept getting postponed. now considering it's the last semester and all, and we have no other time to postpone it to.
now started the fun.
since the place is really expensive on weekends, we decided on a weekday excursion. which needs permission from college, so that we get the students' discount as well.
princi was okay with the plan, so long as we cleared the trip with the lecturers who take class on that particular day.
two departments cleared it. the third department, we hit a snag.
BR had an hour's lecture, and she wasn't willing to give it up. syllabus is too huge to waste even an hour, apparently.
hmm, then an extra hour? maybe a lunch break?
no, she wasn't cool with it. lunch time was meant for eating. especially for her (pray note, we have extra classes regularly during that time. and no one gives a shit about when we get to eat)
how about a saturday class then?
no way, she has a family to attend to. oooh, we all stay alone in dungeons no?!
stay back after college hours for one hour? no. she didn't want to do that either. other lecturers stepped in, but she refused to relent. oh, and in the middle we got a free bunch of lectures about how we "bypassed" her and thus, insulted her sense of importance.
BR held on to the goddamn lecture hour with all the tenacity of a new mother clutching her newborn.
deadlock. and a furious bunch of girls, who only wanted to have some fun. to add insult to injury, all other departments had given permission. so whoever didn't have the subject that BR taught, were free to go. and were, indeed, going.
finally, another department had to step in to convince her.
and the trip's finally happening. not that i am going (with a prematurely aged back, it's just not possible), but am happy for everyone else.
but you think it happened without a price?
we have to attend early morning classes EVERY saturday till the end of the semester, along with another extra couple of hours.
which makes it EIGHT hours for the griveous sin of thinking we could miss one.
i have to keep telling myself that i have to attend my beloved college for only 34 more days! :P
