divine intervention

life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
when you think everything's okay and everything's going right
and life has a funny way of helping you out when
you think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
in your face

alanis morisette is definitely one of the very few good things that came out of canada. her song "ironic" immediately came to mind when i received this email:

This e-mail is intended for students enrolled in:
PHYS 105A A00 FA04 Mathematical&Computational Phy

Class - after due consideration, and considerable pleading on the part of several students, I have decided to make this weeks homework assignment due on Monday at 6pm rather than tomorrow, so that students with a physics 110 midterm tomorrow have more time to study. -cheers --DD

many thanks to dubin for having a heart, and to columbine for carrying out a successful mission of "considerable pleading." =)
