Expected/Unexpected
We all know that life can be hard to predict. However, sometimes we get it right.
Today can mostly be considered "unexpected." Rain and high winds made walking around a chore. Debbie, Kazu's girlfriend, has yet to take off thanks to snowy conditions in Toronto. So we've spent most of the day planning and re-planning how to meet her at the airport and what do when she arrives. At this point, she's not expected to arrive until after 8:30, which means we probably won't have dinner tonight at all.
On the "expected" side, my grades have finally come through and they're almost exactly as I predicted: C+ in History, B+ in English, and A in Russian Cinema. With my earlier pair of A's, that means a 3.52 GPA, and that means Dean's List.
Now you might be asking (like my father is): "Dan, what happened in History class?" There's a long answer and a short answer to that question. I prefer the short answer: I made a mistake, but what's done is done and I still made the Dean's List. Respeck.
