Great First Impression!

"Pay Attention", that's  a phrase I've heard umm...forever.  Today I really wished someone would have been sitting next to me pinching my arm as I zoned out.  After a 30 minute lecture from some Admin guy at London Met, we were to break off and attend an hour session with our course leader.  Just as the slide presentation ends, I returned to reality and hopped up when I hear "something something Marketing" and follow a pack of students into a room.

At no point during the course leader's speech or 3 professor introductions did I ever think I was in the wrong room.  About an hour later, we all left the room to head down to enroll.  Immediately I was turned away because I forgot my passport.  On the tube home, I realized that not one of the classes mentioned in the "something something Marketing" session had anything to do with events. 

I returned with my passport and the realization that despite being older and having more years in school than most of the students in line, I was mosly likely a bigger jackass too.

By the time I got up to the postgraduate office and gave my name, they had already emailed me asking what course did I intend to be a part of.  It's all fixed now, I guess in theory I could have picked one or the other but I'm sticking with Events Marketing...they only have class two days a week, the other has three.

I am going to try really hard not to embarass myself or show my stupidity again in school, at least not for another couple of weeks.
