Apologetics assignment down and a boo-boo

I am very, very, VERY relieved. (How many times have I used this phrase in the past month?)

wheeeeeeee.........

 I don't think I did my apologetics paper very well - because there were just too many other assignments competing for my attention in September; to make no mention of our daily class requirements. (Say, "Awww...") I took up 3 very heavy courses this term - One under Dr. L (in which, I had to preach and complete my interpretation project by the end of September) ... and two under Dr. V. (loads of meaty, theological readings to do). Every day, I slept late and woke up early to go to school - after snoozing and snoozing my alarm clock of course. (My cockerel usually has to crow six times, with 10 minute intervals in between before I reluctantly roll out of bed). You can thus imagine how hastily I did this paper - in order to hand it up on time... and even so, I am 2 days late. Guilty. Guilty.

I did request for a one-week extension of deadline from the lecturer via email more than a week back (since he's all the way in US) - however, he did not reply my email....or any of my friends' emails for that matter - so I am technically not entitled to any deadline extensions. I just hope that he is still alive and kicking. (I'm not trying to be sarcastic here.)

Spent the whole of Monday working on my paper. I was supposed to have gone to work in the evening - BUT... I had to cancel my class with SSS last-minute. Why? Because I couldn't find my car-keys! This must have been my lamest but most authentic excuse for absenteeism. It was so ridiculous, that I nearly cried. (That's how much I love my job!:P) Looked everywhere that came to my panicking mind ~ but NO CAR-KEYS! In the end, I gave up looking and had to call my student's mom in order to cancel class. I felt so bad - especially because the little girl (SSS) dropped by the music school even though she didn't have class - just to leave me a present. *Touched*

And where were my car-keys?

Tucked in the pocket of Ben's trousers - the pair he wore to church yesterday. Now, why on earth did I not think of that?!?

These past two weeks, I've been getting into troubles similar to this one. For example, on the day I preached my sermon - I went home to nap (was super exhausted) - and although my cockerel crowed mightily (its crows were almost ear-splitting in fact), I FAILED to wake up. I ended up having to cancel Serena's class. Poor girl! :( Nowadays, I do not dare to nap in between school and work anymore - even when I am dead exhausted. Just in case history repeats itself. Drink coffee, if the need arises. Gotta make do with caffeine. 

I am very thankful for an understanding and supportive boss... as well as the kindest parents of the kids I teach. Also for my best friends who help me to laugh at my silliness.

I am thankful for the study break this week. I can finally study my languages (will be slowly taking up another language other than 한국어 this time ~ the one I abandoned some years back), meet up with my best friend (hopefully she's OK, since she is going through such a tough time), and focus on teaching music.
