The way I see this is:
Small itty bitty ass potatos. Tiny teeeny fucking thing to be talking about.
I see your taking time to whine on the board about how truely awful it is for you to have to deal with those stinky smokers and a ten minute break as a much more significant problem than the smoke break you're complaining about.
Chill the fuck out. It's a ten minute break. I'd complain to you that you're complaining about a smoking break! There are things in life you may not like, college is supposed to prepare you for reality. The reality is some people choose to smoke. They choose to smell. They choose to not give a FUCK you think they smell. Live and let live.
I've graduated college, been there done what you're talking about. I LOVED breaks in a 2 hour class. I need to pee sometimes, you know? Sometimes I even took advantage to go outside and chill w/the smokers MY GOD !! what a crazy fucked up idea! It felt good to stand up for a minute, and talk to people. I even made more friends that way! What a concept, talking to the dirty smokers...
I'll tell you what, you got a problem w/smoking. Fine, don't smoke. There you go. You have kids? Tell them WHY you don't smoke, then see if your opinions are worth anything to them. Kids'll smoke or won't, heavily based on what thier parents tell them. Now keep your opinions on what's healthy off your professor's body! Okay?! Thanks!
The only valid complaint I see on this thread is that your prof cancels class without notice, and exessively. That's BS, and you should bring it to his concern...that's right, the correct way to deal w/that is to TELL the man, face to face, that you're concerned and upset that you've missed 5 classes that you've paid for, and didn't feel there was adaquate notice. If the prof can't professionally handle a valid student concern, professionally voiced, then and only then, do you jump over his head and complain to every superior he has.
If I was the man's dean, and you came to me the first thing I'd ask you is if you'd talked to the prof about your concern. If you said "NO" I'd tell you that's right where your staring point is. But then again, I believe in personal responsibility, his AND yours.
For all you know, the guy has a wife w/cancer who went to the emergecy room 5 times. Maybe he didn't send an email because he was dialing 911. Point is, you don't know. Find out if you're so concerned about it.
I'm sure I'm making more about this than you are, and more than you meant, but hey, that's what message boards are all about.
Have fun in college! Have a shot, a smoke, a fuck, and an overdo paper all at once. You'll never forget it.
