5 guys, 95 girls, no professor

My college career started on a very very very strange note. My first class is Introduction to Gender and Womens Studies. I know the first thought that comes to your mind is, "What the hell? why are you taking that class?" I'll explain that soon. So I show up to my first class of my college career 10 minutes early, and it's ALL females waiting outside the room. I knew going in that it would be disproportionate, but this is insane. But it's ok, I can deal with being the only Y chromosome in the room. The door opens and everyone goes in, and Hallelujah! there are a couple other guys. At last count, there were 5 guys in a class of about 100. Talk about being outnumbered... So the entire class is sitting there, 10 minutes pass... no professor... 20 minutes pass... no professor... 30 minutes pass... no professor... finally after 35 minutes, the GSI stands up and says, "well, we can't find your professor, so just sign this sheet so you get credit for being here and you can go." That's one hell of a way to start college.
