Miracles Do Happen

I have recently discovered one of the best things about college. It took me this long to realize it, and that's somewhat a sad thing. Let me explain.

It was Wednesday and the was going as it usually did. I woke up w/ barely enough time to run out the door and somehow make it to my extremely ridiculous chemistry class on time. After chemistry, I didn't really have anything pressing to do since my english teacher had given us a break and didn't assign any homework from Monday. So, I did some chemistry, I slept a little on the comfortable chairs that they have in the student center, and finally, I went to go meet my sister at the usual time.

I was a little early, and so I made some faces at my sister through the window since I couldn't see the teacher. It was fantastic let me tell you. She laughed... and then eventually her class was over and the people began to filter out. She got a soda (again, as usual), and we walked out to her car where we have our fun little chats, and she drives me over to the Gunther Trade Center where my English class is located. But, that day was a smidge different. She told me that Jacob had stayed home from school since he was sick, and that Dan was at home with him... waiting for Skeet so he could go to work. So, unfortunately, our chum time was basically zero for the day. That's okay though, I thought!

Well, so off to English I went. I was almost an hour early, so I decided I would just read in the hallway. I wasn't feeling that great... but I my gut was still in enough tact that it told me I shouldn't skip English. Darn that gut anyways. So, First thing... where my sister drops me off, there is a huge hill that I have to walk up. Okay, by huge I mean, it's not that tall, but It's a pretty steep apgrade. So image this: It's raining and the grass has dew droplets spread about evenly. Teri is in this 1" high shoes, that are more like church shoes, and have zero traction. Also, her head feels as if it my combust at any given moment. : Okay, so if the rest of the truth isn't portrayed through that image... let me just clue ya in. Yes... I indeed had much troubles getting up the hill, and in fact fall right over. At the top of the hill there are trees, so I, in my desperate attempts to survive, grabbed the tree and held on for dear life. Also at the top of th hill there is a sidewalk. It's not a high traffic sidewalk, but there is definately enough that all difnity was lost after the incident. As soon as I "got a grip" on things, I stood up and non chalantly walked away, hoping that because the grade was so steep, maybe no one saw me until I actually popped out from behind the tree. (Highly Unlikely)

So, after that horrific event, I eventually arrived outside the door of my English class with about 40 minutes until the class would start. But Wait! What? There was a piece of paper hanging on the door, and that only means one thing. Someones class was canceled! Who's class? Yes! It was a miracle, It read "Mr. Nodal's English 1010 MWF class from 11:00-11:50 will be canceled today." It was great! But, I then realized I went through that entire hill climbing experience for no reason... wonderful. Oh well. So, my feeling a bit "under the weather" decided... heck, I might as well just skip Psychology.. you haven't missed that class yet. My gut this time was indifferent... in fact, i think it may have even told me it was okay. So, I did in fact go home. I slept for a Very Very long time, and the day was basically one of sleep. The next day sounds extremely similar to that one... only I didn't even go to school this time, I just slept.

Well, On to today. Again, things were going as usual. The chemistry scenario... the doing nothing for an hour, then meeting my sister... (only this time the chum time was much better), the hill scene was much better... I only had to hold onto the ground at one point just because I thought Maybe it might be like last time, but it wasn't. I successfully made it up the hill, with all dignity in tact. And then, when I reached my English class, my heart was sort of hoping that exciting sign would be on the door again. But come on, how likely was that? Two days in a row? Not a chance. So I walk in, along with a few other students... and about 2 minutes go by... some other students trickle in... and 5 minutes go by.... we're finally all there thinking... "Wow, this is unusual for our English teacher friend who has probably been late less than 5 times in his life."... we All wait with great anticipation. Every time another person would walk in everyones eyes shifted to the door in unison hoping that Mr. Nodal would not be behind it!

Finally! It was 5 after, and we decided that we would ALL leave at the same time. YAY!!! That's a record! No english homework the entire week! It really was a miracle! We all up and left, and who knows if Mr. Nodal ever showed up. I don't. And I don't really want to know. I'm having a great time letting the time pass as I tell you all of today's excitement.

So, back to my previous statement. I would have to say that one of the best things about college is that yes, there is always that hope of one of your classes being canceled. You're paying for it yes, but honestly right now all my classes are generals... those tedious classes that you're forced to take before you can take the ones that really interest you! So, if class is canceled- Yay for us! In highschool, if your teacher decided not show there was always someone to fill in for them. You always knew that unless it was a holiday or a scheduled break, you had to go to school, and the only hope was that maybe by some miracle there would be no homework, or your teacher would have a moment of mental abstraction and allow you to do whatever you wanted. But those almost never happened as time went on. In Minnesota there was always the hope of a snow day... but after I moved, I was sorely dissappointed when I realized Minnesota was basically a world of it's own in that aspect. Yes, those days actually occurred, and the movie "Snow Day" didn't make them up. ( as some people thought :o) )

Anywho, so today is going peachily, and it's Friday, chances are high in that it probably will continue to roll "peachily". Sweet! Anywho, I hope that you all are wonderful. I would apalogize for my randomness, but you all know me, and I wouldn't be foooling anyone. I'm just a pretty random person ... a lot of the time. So! Have a PEACHY day!
