Inshaa'a l-laah = God willing
I have pottery classes on Monday and Wednesday evenings. So on last Monday I told my teacher that I won't be able to attend class next Wednesday but I will come on Saturday and Monday instead. He was agreeable and he mentioned that Wednesday would be the last lesson for the rest of them as the course consists of 10 sessions.
This is where it got really interesting. One, when I asked at the beginning about the number of sessions per course, I was not given a straight answer. It didn't quite bother me as I thought we will discover the answer in due time. So when I signed up for the lessons in July, I was told that for that fee I paid, it will be for 3 sessions per week and for 4 weeks. Right... I was under the impression that it was only once a week. Nevertheless, I informed my teacher then that I would only be able to attend 2 out of the 3 per week and I will still pay the course fee every 4 weeks or so.
So it was on Monday that I "discovered" that the course is for 10 sessions and not 12. Right... It was fine by me.
Then yesterday, (after I told sir about me only coming on Sat and Mon etc..) teacher said he won't be around for class on Saturday and Monday as he's going away for a break. I was like stunned. He assured us that we can still come by and do our own work in the studio just that he won't be around.
I kept thinking if there was communication breakdown somewhere, or if there was some information that I had seriously overlooked... I guess I was more amused and taken by surprise than being upset. This is really the true spirit of Inshaa'a l-laah.
Inshaa'a l-laah indeed :)
