a tad late?
On Sunday my friend Jen and I will be representing theUniversity of Nebraska, Lincoln at a U.S. University fair in Ikebukuro. We will be sitting at a booth handing out flyers to folks who may be interested in moving from Tokyo to Lincoln, Nebraska.
Jen is an intern at the U.S. embassy in Akasaka. I am an assistant junior high school english teacher.
Guess which one of us wrote this in an email to me this afternoon:
“I am meeting Colin Powell Sunday morning at 10:30, so I may be running a tad late….I plan to be there by noon. ”
Yeah, that was Jen.
If I was going to be late, I would probably use words like, “Overslept”, “Got Lost”, or, “Completely Forgot” in my excuse. But thats only because I don’t get to meet major players in world politics all that often…
