Whooooosh…

Did you hear that sound?

That was the sound of Gothique dodging a bullet…uninentionally.  Let me explain, I went to my Advanced Writing class today fully expecting to have to go to my Professor after class was over and explain that I’d been sick and ask if it was possible that I could turn in my essay at the end of today, only to discover that apparently we never went over the rough draft last Thursday (I didn’t miss class that day on purpose, I overslept k?) which meant we went over it today.  Which further means, according to the Prof, we have until NEXT Tuesday to get it done.  Really??  *looks over shoulder* Ok the sun hasn’t gone out, I’m fairly certain I haven’t shifted to a parallel universe, maybe I time-traveled…nope watch says its 9-29-09……………..Wow, I totally felt that bullet pass me by.  Cause it should’ve been due today, I should’ve spent the rest of the day in a total ‘beat on myself’ day, I should’ve had to turn in a half-ass paper and rewrite it.  Now I have time, time to finish a rough draft, time to polish the final draft, I have time.   What happened???

Well I’ll tell you the first thing that came into my mind (after I checked to make sure I wasn’t dreaming, that the world hadn’t ended and that I was in fact in the same universe of course) wow God you are so awesome!  Thank you, thank you, thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!!  It’s like He’s really giving me a chance to live up to my promise to myself that this semester would be different, that I’d actually keep up on my homework and make my professors want me in another class.  I can’t believe it.  Tears spring up in my eyes just thinking about it.  I really want to do well this semester and have been trying pretty hard so far.  I never intended to not have this essay done.  I just didn’t get to it in time.  But now I can.  I keep trying to think of ways to describe this feeling inside of me and pretty much the closest I can come is I dodged a bullet without even trying, I did nothing, I was prepared to take the consequences of my actions, I had steeled myself to the inevitable only to find out that the inevitable wasn’t so inevitable after all.

Are you sure this isn’t a parallel universe?
