Week from Twilight Zone...
This past week, I feel like I've been in the twilight zone... Things I didn't think would happen to me actually happened, that made no sense at all... I feel like I was going crazy.
It all started off Tuesday, when I replaced someone from 12:00 p.m. (noon) to 1:00 p.m. for a step class... During the warm up, I was trying to teach the V-step forward and V-step back. I had never expected that it would be possible for someone to fall while doing that. However, it was possible, and was demonstrated live in my class... Granted of course, the lady was okay, and she was able to finish the class, but I nearly shit my pants, because I have never actually had a full fledge fall in any of my classes.
And then on Thursday, I get an e-mail from a prof whom I mark for, his class of MATH 205 (Calculus II). He asked me why I didn't pick up the assignments he left on February 15, 2007 (the Thursday before reading week). Now, I clearly recall picking up these assignments, and marking them on the train back to Toronto, because I was having difficulty marking these calculus assignments on that little tray by my seat... And I clearly remember returning these assignments back to the assignment cabinet on February 27, 2007 (Tuesday).
So, I went back to check on the assignments yesterday, Friday, and I discovered that they weren't in the folder... I got an e-mail from the prof this morning, asking if I put them in the right folder, which I recall doing, but I could be wrong... So now, I find out that he doesn't have the assignments, and I have no idea where they are...
And today, I left my apartment really early to shoot to get to my aerobics class by 9:45 a.m., so that I can chat and get to know the people better. Between Villa-Maria and Vendôme station, a man fell in my car of the metro, so the emergency break was activated. There was a pretty cute nurse (in his baby blue scrubs and a nice brown leather jacket) who was assisting the man who fell. The driver came, and an ambulance was called. However, we didn't even wait for the ambulance to show up... The driver just called the ambulance, asked the man be assisted out of the metro to this bench at Vendôme, and then he went back to the front, and started the metro again... We didn't even hear the chimes and the lady telling us something was wrong... I just hope that the man got his proper care... I got to my class at about 9:55 a.m., and I started right on the dot at 10:00 a.m.. The week that I leave early because I want to get there early, I still end up barely on time... * Sigh *

Must be something in nature... astrological happenings if you remotely believe in those. Seems like something or other (that's been unusual) has been happening for everyone I know this past week.
I hope those math assignments will show up somewhere, soon.
The fall's not your fault -- accidents happen -- but how you handle the situation will reveal what kind of person you are. You're a nice guy and I'm sure you'd rushed to the lady's help and made sure she was okay before continuing the lesson.
