MySpace 1/7/08-Stupid School

We have about four calendars telling us when things are here at school. There are assorted personal calendars that you can keep in your email, class calendars, academic calendars for the school, ones for clubs, etc...Of course, no one showed us how to use them or where exactly they are but if you play around on the internet enough you can figure it out.
So...before break we were told that our class schedule for this block was wrong. Its set up from an excel sheet with the days of the week, times and classes in blocks telling you what room. Very high school. But useful. However, we were told that the class calendar or academic (one of those) was right for us. After some grumbling about how stupid it was that no one could update the schedule or even make a new excel sheet with the correct one we were satisfied.
Fast forward to last week. I come in to figure out my schedule and figure I'll make the excel sheet and email it to my ever grateful classmates. But wait, the calendar I looked at had the times the same as the wrong schedule. Hmmm...I got distracted and didn't email my question to anyone.
Peggy steps up and emails a couple of people. We got this long chain back (I've simplifed it for you)-
class president-classes start Mondays and Tuesday at nine, eight the rest of the week
computer person-you need to look at the class calendar but wait its wrong so talk to someone else
Peggy-something's wrong. What's my schedule?
Well, all that's fine and good but what classes do I have, when and where? Here I am sitting at school at 8:30 Monday morning but have no clue what class comes at 9am! Stupid vet school...
