I Have a Confession

So there I am, alarm set for 7 am sharp, my roommate is staying up all night so I can't get to sleep for very long and eventually tell him to keep it down. I wonder to myself, doesn't he have class at 8 tomorrow? Why is he still up? Eventually, my alarm goes off and I get ready as usual, with one exception. I got up earlier than usual today specifically to take care of some last min homework. So I'm headed off the school, or more specifically, the computer lab to print something. After a bit of editing, I finally print exactly what I want. Then I stand up from the desk, and from this desk is a perfect view of the Arts parking lot (I am in graphic design) and I see that it's nearly empty, save for the few others in the lab with me. It's a quarter to nine and it's usually flooded with cars by now. In a slight panic, I ask the lab attendant where everyone is. She looks confused for a bit and I try to explain that there is no one in the parking lot. Then she tells me, "Oh, there is no school today. Just the lab is open." Dumbstruck, I admit, "I did not know that." And walk out with what little dignity I have left. I manage to catch someone from my class who made the same mistake and he thanks me even though, his time has been wasted, as well. As I am walking back to my car, all I can think over and over is, "Why wasn't I told? Was I supposed to just know that, despite the fact that Veteran's day was on a SUNDAY this year, that I get Monday off too?! Why wasn't I told?!?!" I grow angrier and angrier until I find myself doing 50 in a 35 and somehow manage to not get caught even though I pass a police station as part of my route. As soon as I get home, I check my calendar in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, it will say for today, "Veteran's Day (observed)". No such luck. The school has no excuse, and there was no way for me to know that there was no class today. I got no e-mails, didn't see any fliers. Literally, the only give away was the empty lot and empty school. I have half a mind to cuss someone out tomorrow for not putting that out. Oh, and before you say that I should've detected a pattern for the other 21 veteran's days I've been involved with, I have. The pattern is that we get the day off, NOT the next day. As for last year, well this year was a leap year, putting Veteran's day back TWO days, a.k.a. on a Friday...um, the DAY OFF, not the next day. I wanted someone to yell at, I want someone yelled at for this. For wasting my time, making me get up a good 5-6 hours earlier than I wanted to, for making me take care of the last min homework when there really wasn't a last min. I want someone hurt in the way I was today.
