last thursday

i was walking up the stairs in building 16 when i saw a fortune on the ground. i bent to pick it up in what i thought would be a smooth move, but i didn't grab it so i had to reach down again. and my 9.00 professor [from spring of freshman year] almost bumped into me and i felt really embarrassed.

but at least i got my fortune:

romance could divert your attention away from money matters today.

i don't think it did?

the real fortune is that i slept through a class for the first time all semester that morning and when i finally woke up and checked my e-mail, i found out the class had been cancelled because the professor was sick!
