Today really stinks. I wake up, prepare my clothes in anticipation of my new improv acting class tonight. The class meets down south in Kendall, which requires that I find a place to stay for the night. My aunt is willing to let me stay every Monday night for these classes so I’m even happier about not having to use up all my gas in one night. Once my clothes is packed I head towards the car and sit down only to find my sunglasses are missing. I must have left them in tony’s glove compartment yesterday. So I settle for the mafioso looking glasses I wore on eighties night. I drive to dunkin’ donuts for my $3.17 breakfast and find that there are new employees working. Slow, mumbling employees who take 20 minutes to prepare a coffee and croissant sandwich. Each time the new guy comes to the counter he offers my food to the guy next to me, forgetting who he originally got the order from. I get back in my car, biting away at my breakfast and driving towards the I-75 ramp. I realize my car is low on fuel, so I stop by the nearest Chevron station, the only gas station remotely near the I-75 ramp. Of course, gas prices have soared since last week, so I’m forced to cough up a hefty amount to keep my car running.
I arrive to work 45 minutes late, confident that I will make up the hours late in the afternoon since I’ll be sticking around later than usual. After all, my class doesn’t start till 8pm and I’ll be going there straight from work. I walk in, all smiles, eager to work on whatever projects I have assigned today. Assignment number one… find good plane tickets for my boss’ trip to NY. After doing a thorough search online we find the best deal possible: $171 for an roundtrip AA flight. After spending a few minutes discussing whether or not to choose this or that flight, this or that plane model, this or that everything, we find that the deal is no longer available. The price has just shot up $60 dollars per ticket. What a discouragement. We settle for the next best price.
Just then, as I’m getting all the information confirmed, a call comes in for me.
“Hello, this is Maria calling from Miami Dade College. May I speak to … emm.. David?”
“This is David speaking, how can I help you?”
“I’m calling to inform ju that jur improv acting class is cancelled and ju will be receiving jur refund within two weeks.”
“Awww, you gotta be kidding me! Why is it cancelled?”
“Der wasn’t enough students who signed up for de class”
“How many people signed up for the class?”
“Only three.”
“What was the minimum amount required?”
“At least seven.”
“Crap.”
So no more improv class until the fall semester comes. I guess it’s not a total bummer. This gives me time to recruit some friends to join the class with me. I was really looking forward to starting today though. Oh well. If it were up to me all things would work around my schedule, but I’m confident that the Lord’s timing is the right timing so I’ll be waiting patiently for the next few weeks. In the meantime there’s always books to read. Lots and lots of books.
Dude, I remember when the state was coming around to cut down those darn citrus trees. One of people doing it was like “I need to get in to ju backyard.” Miami so insane. But, the good side about your class being cancelled was that you can have friends with you now. YEY!!

Hey are you serious about the improv stuff? I’m already trying to get some people together for it. It would start before the Fall semester began. When exactly that is…. ::shrug:: I’ll say at least 2 months.
