Oops!

The best plans are often times the ones that go wrong. Take penicillin, for example. Or even better, cheese. Had it not been for some careless oversight, two of the greatest contributions to humanity would never exist.

This evening followed the schedule of one such failed plan.

The plan was simple. Shower, do some reading, straighten my hair while I watched Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. Simple.

How wrong I was.

I did get to shower. Thank goodness. Not a moment passed that I returned to my room that one of my friends knocked on my door. I answered and found her practically glowing with satisfaction at the new coat she had bought and was now wearing. I invited her in to share the tale of her shopping quest.

Over the next three hours we were joined by two other friends and had amazing conversations. They ranged from the most inane and hilarious of topic to the most serious and down right heavy. I still ended up straightening my hair but I nixed the readings for class. I can do those tomorrow.

The point is, the evening couldn't have been better or more fulfilling if I had planned it to be so.

Thank you Chance and Mishap. You two sure know what you're doing.
