Class @ Lab

Um, for some reason the classrom, which is supposed to be called a class, or a room, is called a LAB. I don't know why, maybe because there are computers and printer and book ends and lockers ... , or maybe because we are like LAB rats, scuttling around like nobody's business in Graduate School of Education , knowing little Nihon-go (Japanese) as we go about. It feels something like "small but important" hehe!
