I don’t think Luann has reached adulthood yet. Scientists do say that the brain doesn’t stop developing until you’re about 25, to be fair. Maybe there’s hope for her someday?
Man, I can remember in middle school we had five minute intervals between classes, but danged if your next class happened to be all the way on the other side of the main building (or even out in the secondary building in the back of the property), then that five minutes felt more like five seconds.
Got to learn how to read, how to write, and how to balance a check book, the rest brings on the Rip van Winkle syndrome. Next time around I want to be born independently wealthy.
In other words. Luann is now in a place where she always needs to be prepared and awake. This is really stressful and she’s probably tired, but this helps her a lot to be a new person who is more responsible and attentive to the world around her. HOORAY for Luann’s community college!
It’s always terrible when subsitutes run out of material in mid-week. Next week will not be a Luann story because this week has used up all of Luann’s allotted appearances for this quarter. Nor will there be a story about Gunther and Bets because Bets as been appropriated by the Quad from Hell. The Quad from Hell is such a disaster that it should be flushed down the Memory Hole immediately. So that leaves Bernce, Ben or Shannon. Since Shannon is too young to talk about who’s shagging who, I bet we get a week of her. Or maybe Nancy will feel old again because she can’t figure out the fancy software needed to keep Bernice’s files up to date.
We had ten minutes between classes. Even on our relatively small campus, it could sometimes be a rush getting from one to the other. Something like rain or snow made it worse.
Maybe the worst thing was getting an 8 AM class and not another for several hours.
Been a nice week, like to see next week with Luann dealing with a class. Interesting GnK went for the “Evil Empire” for coffee but then it left no doubt. Wonder if we’ll see GnK bring the other “Evil Empire” in at some point, the MOUSE.
From junior high on, my alarm was my dog that my mother plopped on my bed when it was time to get up and go to school. When I went off to college, I missed my first college class ever, because I forgot to set an alarm. Lesson learned.
I am really enjoying the freedom of Greg’s drawings this past week. His sense of movement and the panicked expression on Luann’s face in the last panel today is priceless. Also loved the old lady on her way to Auto Shop.
I notice unease with commenters who complain this is boring. Everything with the main characters in the arcs has a point, comedic and otherwise. I think it’s fair to say this is a maturation muse by Luann. How that will play out I leave to GnK, but I have a feeling it will be quite noticeable. Wait for it.
Why from high school to college/university all of a sudden? Didn’t Luann spend the last two years going to community college? Community college is college. I’m confused.
In 4 years of college, I only had two classes back to back – and they were in the same building and on the same floor. Luck of the draw my freshman year and knowing how to schedule the next 3 years.
Anyone besides me have “school dreams”? I’m late for class, or I can’t find my books, or I forgot to buy the books, or worst of all, I forgot to go to the class all term and now it’s the final.
This week was a pause that didn’t refresh. It took us outside of the strip, and felt a bit jarring. But I did enjoy seeing Delta and Aaron. Luann could use them these days. Bern being a bore/bi+@#, and no significant other a young adult would likely have, leave Luann without peer support.

Well, the end of what looks like a week’s vacation for G&K.
With enough Aaron Hill teases to get some folk around here thinking he’s coming back.
Also, in the Bernice vs. Luann competition, Bernice was clearly painted as coming out on top. Way on top.
As for Luann, one word:
Rudderless.

With that trademark “Z”, I thought for a second that was Argy in the first panel…

Not sure if anyone noticed it, but in the first panel, Luann’s book is upside – down; one can see the “Part One” is inverted.

When you’re unmotivated, life feels like that. I guess we can’t expect Luann to have found her life’s purpose yet. I mean, she’s only— what? 40?

Also didn’t help that the next class in collage was usually clear across campus and you only had ten minutes to get there.
I was glad that when I was a senior, all my classes were my major specialty courses and in the engineering building.

But in college the consequences for being tardy are minuscule, if any. Unless you are in pre-med or med-school and it’s a 7:00 AM lab of some sort.
