Misunderstanding

My work day started out with an early message from the dean. It recapped the current situation and relayed the three-page list of student demands, of which anything having to do with pension reform was not one. I apparently misread that part of the situation from the start. There is quite a colorful list of demands, including passing grades for all. Perhaps they just decided to surf the wave of public discord on pension reform to launch their own protest movement? The only department mentioned by name in the student document is Philosophy. Could it be a movement spearheaded by philosophy students? According to the dean, tens of thousands of euros worth of damage has already been catalogued, and the May exam period could be in jeopardy, if the students to not relinquish control of the building soon.

The day continued with a series of emails regarding the midterm exam I'd scheduled for tomorrow evening. One of my colleagues came up with a suggestion of someone to contact in student services. Success! She found me a room at the Faculté de Droit. Then I realized that my exam photocopies are locked in the copy closet in our main building. I called the copy service to see about getting another set. They agreed. So everything is set. The only loose end now, I think, is whether or not my key will open the classroom in the law college. It might, as it works for other buildings with classrooms on campus, but I'm not sure. I'll head up early tomorrow in case I have to track someone down to open the room for me.
