Today

Two weeks of spring break and I was not looking forward to my 3:30 class. Anyway, I was almost ready to do it, fooling around at home – sweatpants and all – when, at 2:30 sharp, I remembered that class starts at 2:30. I spent the next fifteen minutes being Jack Bauer’s soul twin, counting the seconds and accomplishing what would normally take me three times as long. Briefly freaked out, swore out loud, got out of sweat pants and into jeans, put on shoes, grabbed house keys and completely empty backpack, grabbed bike that I hadn’t used since November but didn’t notice deflated tires, biked to office to pick up class materials, biked to class, barely avoided a few minor accidents, realized that my legs are too sore for biking from yesterday’s run, and finally made it into the room: hardly able to catch my breath. Normally I wouldn’t be in such a rush but I was teaching the class.
