It has begun

Knock knock knock.

"Yes?"
No reply.

I get up and open the door. There is a lost-looking first-year hunched nervously outside the office.

"I was wondering if you can tell me where my French tutorial is..."
"Classes don't actually start until next week, I think. Tutorials not until the week after that. And French is one floor higher. This is linguistics."
"Oh. Well can you tell me which tutorial I'm in, then?"
"For French?"
"Uh-huh."
"Um... no."
