Global Community Awareness

On October 16th, I attended the movie, “My Beautiful Launderettes”, at 3pm, however it was never actually shown.  The assigned professor didn’t show up to the room to power up the projector to play the movie.  After waiting about 20 minutes someone went up on stage and basically told the crowd that they didn’t know how to turn the projector on and therefore couldn’t play the movie.  This meant we wouldn’t receive any credit for attending.  Since this was one of the last available Global Community workshops available, everyone got really upset and we started arguing that it wasn’t fair that most of us had to wait upwards of  2 or 3 hours just to be told that we won’t get credit because the administration didn’t feel like showing up.  So after some time the monitors finally came around and decided that we were right and signed our books (my sheet).  I don’t really think I learned too much from this experience other than there are still problems that can happen in an organized event, but eventually they will be solved in a mutually beneficial manner.
