"I Never Loved My Smile Until I Knew You" or "The Divine Providence of Cancelled Class"

So, this morning i got up at 7 and ran myself ragged all over town to get the textbook for my English class. My teacher gave us a full 2 months early notice to buy the book, and I'm well into September and still without it. I knew that today she was finally going to look at me in the front of the class, my pink hair blazing, and slap me.

She seems like that kind of lady.

However, after 3 stores and 30 minutes in the library, I've got nothing. We're reading My Antonia, so I've got the knowledge of the text no problem, but I know that the slap is coming. I check my email before I walk on to my doom:

"Hi Class--I am canceling today's class because I am sick. When we reconvene on Thursday we will cover the reading for today, so if you have already done it, that's all you have to do. I'll adjust the syllabus accordingly and get you all revised copies.

Thanks, HW"

Um.... awesome.

This is also handy because I can't find my syllabus, so thank goodness for today. Go karma.

In other news, I have been busier the last few days than I've been since last year. I am now doing the Sunday School lessons and Wednesday night lessons for church, and my kids are semi-cognoscente now so I have to actually try. And as far as Apwonjo, well, yesterday i spent 4 hours sending out 6 batches of emails, creating a facebook event, updating the website, reserving rooms and tables, talking to Corey about writing an article, writing up two excel files, cross-referencing them, and typing up minutes.

Oh, but I did spare 2 hours in the evening to curl my hair and take pretty pictures of my face.

Hey, I've got priorities.

And a nice smile.
