Yesterday I was in my Russian language class when one of our students walked in late complaining that her foot hurt. She had new shoe which had cut her foot and she was bleeding on the floor. She asked if anyone has a band-aid and no one did. I volunteered to run and find her one; after all it shouldn't be that hard.
I asked at the library; no luck. I ran to the student center. At the information center I asked for one from several people the last one of which had band-aids.
His actual words were, "Yeah, I have 'em, but I can't give 'em to ya".
What? What in the world is up with that? Are you serious?
"Yup, we're supposed to refer you to the medical center", he said.
I remind you that this girl is bleeding on the floor out of her FOOT. What is the matter with band-aids that a school costing over $30,000 a year can't supply you with a band-aid. I had band-aid access in elementary school, junior high, and high school, but here at a university I would have to bleed all the way to the medical center.
Seriously. What kind of trouble do they think I'm gonna get into with a band aid?
