ご心配したことをごめなさいｘ２。

Amy: Sorry about missing the carpool this morning. I was awfully drunk last night.

Courtney: Sorry about making you take the train. I forgot to set my alarm clock, and I was awfully drunk last night.

Simona: Sorry for the frantic morning calls because I was awfully drunk last night and forgot to set the alarm clock.

Ian: Sorry for losing the arm wrestling match against the bartender in front of the geisha. Free drinks are nice, but the dude's got a bazooka for an arm.

So I woke up at 8:30 to Amy's call and was an hour and a half late to school. During the whole wobbly drive (I think I'm still a bit drunk), these are the excuses I considered (ironic--I had an excuse-making activity for my adult class last night):

1) My pug ate my alarm clock.
Obviously does not work because I don't even have a dog.

2) My car broke down.
Requires a lot more base-covering.

3) My grandmother is dead and I stayed on the phone all night.
One of my all-time favorites, but I want to avoid the jinx factor, and save it for (with straight face) life-or-death situations.

4) My (insert relative) was (insert extreme medicalcondition) last night and I stayed on the phone all night.
See 4.

5) It was St. Patrick's day and I was really drunk.
Not much of an excuse at all, probably because I ain't Irish.

Winner: My best friend got married last night and I was on the web cam all night.
Hell yeah! My new all-time favorite. It worked like a charm, I even got congratulations.

The above statements are approved by Jeff Cho.

P.S. On second thought, I'm not sorry at all for Amy. You got off easy--just found out that my spring break is basically reduced to one slightly longer weekend (if I skip send-off party) because of the Temecula visit, while you sit on a Hawaian beach.
Damn you.
