Professor Adam Heath Avitable ran a live commentary about his empty class while waiting for his elusive students and it is hilarious!
Adam is a Professor, Writer and Comedian based in Florida. Professor Avitable was there to do a lecture but nobody showed up to his class. He started live tweeting his disappointment and while his tweets are hilarious, you can feel his heart breaking and its so relatable!
He started off tweeting an image of the empty classroom he was waiting in and captioned it with a pretty good question.
You know that college rule – if the professor is more than fifteen minutes late, class is canceled?
Does the opposite apply as well? pic.twitter.com/IX0QzbX37Z

But that was only the beginning, Adam proceeded to tweet for the next 90 minutes about the roller coaster of emotions he felt.
Classwatch 2017. Class started 30 mins ago. No students yet. I thought one was coming but it was just an administrator. Who laughed at me.

Well Adam the whole world is now laughing with you!
Five more minutes have passed. I'm starting to doubt myself. Did I tell them no class? Is today Thursday? Am I dreaming? #Classwatch2017

It's so quiet. Every time I hear a door open, I sit up and smile. But when nobody enters my classroom, I die on the inside. #Classwatch2017

Class started 45 mins ago. Still no students. I get paranoid. Is the door to the classroom locked?
I check it.

The reason Adam is so funny is because he talks about feelings we have all felt at one point or another. Have you ever been waiting for someone to fetch you and started freaking out when they were late?
Adam showcases this perfectly and even starts getting paranoid about the safety of the world.
Is everyone else in the world dead? Was there a sudden zombie attack and I survived, alone in my classroom? #Classwatch2017

You can tell he is starting to get a little fed up now, he has been waiting for a whole 40 minutes.
I swear to all that's holy, if no students have shown up by the time it hits the hour mark, I'm calling it a day. #Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
He even has a Cinderella moment while waiting and starts talking to the birds, although the bird snubs him too!
A bird lands outside my window. I invite him in to learn about algebra. He declines and flies away. I hope a cat eats him. #Classwatch2017

I picture Rube Goldberg scenarios where all my students got into in one complex car accident and that's why they're late. #Classwatch2017

I check my email to see if I missed something. I have no emails at all. This is weird. Did I die? Am I dead? Is this hell? #Classwatch2017

My sign-in sheet is as empty as my soul right now. I have to eat this candy alone. #Classwatch2017 pic.twitter.com/loUV8pX5Q5
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
What a great guy, he even brought candy for all his students.
Maybe I should just start lecturing. Students will hear talking and come in. That woudn't be crazy, right? RIGHT?! #Classwatch2017

If you haven’t felt Adams pain yet his next few tweets pulls right on the heart strings and catch you in the feels! Don’t worry Adam we are all here for you!
I SWEAR TO GOD IF SOMEONE IS PULLING A PRANK ON ME I WILL probably break down and cry. #Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
The lights just went off on me automatically. I start to get up to move around so they turn on again, but what's the point. #Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
I hear voices outside. I go to the window, hope in my heart. It's just some kids on their bikes, having fun. 1/2 #Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
"Why aren't you in school? Your teacher needs you!" I yell through the closed window and give them the finger. 2/2 #Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
I have started to name the chairs in the classroom. Funfetti is the good student. Charmander, the troublemaker. #Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
I fire off an email to my boss. "WHERE ARE ALL THE STUDENTS???!!?? 😪😪"
No reply.#Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
Then it happens. I hear a door clang open. Footsteps get louder as someone approaches. Could it be? A student? 90 mins late? #Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
It's not.#Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
That's it. I give up. I'm packing up and going home. Clearly this is a sign that I wasn't meant to teach anyone today. #Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
Finally Professor Avitable catches a break!
Two students just walked in. Remorseless, no apology, no explanation. I hope they don't think they're getting any candy. #Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
This is proof that Adam is a great guy even after all he has been through, sharing the candy with his students anyway.
I can't do it. I give them candy anyway, but remind them that class started 95 minutes ago. They shrug. Urge to kill rises. #Classwatch2017
— Adam Heath Avitable (@avitable) January 19, 2017
Both students ask to use the computer today. I sigh and say okay. I don't even need to be here. End. #Classwatch2017 pic.twitter.com/FKEaTDaxuU

And that is how professor Adam Heath Avitable taught us all that a little humor can make any situation better. We hope that his students show up next time and if not, the rest of us are here ready and waiting to listen to what he has to say.
