I think my class moved without telling me

My internet connection is really starting to bother me. It works great for half an hour or so, then goes out for an hour or so. It's really bothering me, especially when I'm playing Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, or trying to do something on gEngine, or really, anything else that you use the 'net for. I sent an email to Grande; let's see what they say.

I went to go to Prob/Stat today, and it wasn't there. Literally. I was at the right classroom at the right time on the right day, but there was some other class meeting. College Algebra, if I read their textbooks right. I guess he announced that they'd be moving somewhere else in class, and not anywhere else - course website, email, anything. I just emailed him to find out what's going on.

School/Sightings: Saw Lorraine at the quad. Didn't talk to her or anything. She had her daughter with her, which was weird. I'm not used to the idea of my friends having kids. I was surprised she had one, to be honest. Mary Alls? No surprise. Saw April Moreno as well, who, when I called her name, came over and gave me a big hug. She's still tiny. Or rather, really short, with a pleasant build. Still very animated, very talkative, good time talking to her. Played a ton of DDR, some with Cullen. Passed some hard stuff, did pretty good. Talked to some girl for a little bit about the game; she passes by and sees me playing occasionally. Or something like that. Nothing of any consequence, anyhow; we didn't even exchange games (and I swear I'll maul anyone who suggests I attempt to follow up that conversation). Went by OSFA and straightened out what was going on with my loan; it's good to have that cleared up.

I was standing in line at the smoothie place, getting a smoothie (I wanted to see Cullen in action; he works there now), and there were these two girls behind me. I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation, as they were talking fairly loudly, and I tend to pick up on most ambient noise, especially speech, around me. They were confused about some sorority/fraternity abbreviations. The guy behind them knew, and he explained it to them. He then tried to... I'm not sure. Pick them up? Establish a strong connection, to add to his social network? I'm not sure. But I'd rather be completely socially isolated, as I am now (with a few exceptions) then make such a total goober of myself, as he did. I hate watching guys make complete idiots of themselves like that. I need to clarify that - I'm all for making an idiot and/or ass of myself. But not like that. It's... hard to explain.
