Procrastination's Revenge...

I was running late this morning again. I stayed up too late last night finishing the last procrastinated bit of homework due at 8 am this morning. Three hours and 15 minutes after I laid down, the alarm went off.. Again, I'm beginning to detest the alarm song on my phone. (Soon, there will be no songs left!) I drug myself out of bed and peaked out the window. Snow flurries everywhere, the car was covered. I checked my email to see if my once a month saturday class had been cancelled... no new mail. So in and out of the shower I went, dried my hair and actually put on makeup- to "makeup" for the last class meeting when I had just rolled out of bed and looked a "hot mess." (of course, in the last class meeting we were instructed to give each other compliments.. my best one was "nice hair..." which was a real stretch that day.) A fight with the printer took more time than usual and I ended up leaving late for class... after I figured out the printer wasn't plugged in. It was snowy and roads were kind of bad, but I trudged through and arrived on campus in one piece. It was strangely easy to find a good parking space, so as I got out of my car I called the "EKU weather closing line" and heard that "all EKU and Model Laboratory Classes are meeting as scheduled"... however, it was obvious that my footprints were the first on the sidewalk.. and it was already past 8am. Surely, a class that only meets once a month, 4 times a semester, wouldn't be cancelled??? Wrong. The lights hadn't even been turned on in the classroom and I was the only one there.

So! here I am, 9am and nothing to do on a Snowy Saturday except write it down... cause it's too early to call and tell anybody=)
