No, being late is not a big deal. Something could have happened and you had to attend to it. I actually want to change my opinion, I think being late for school is the same as being late for work. If you are late you lose time and money from work and you will never get aqnything done if you are always late for class.

You finished the post from February 23rd. Now let's get you posting in March.
Do you have the same sense that I do of how time is passing? Now the class is moving from news reports to the series of paragraphs... how are your news reports looking?
What can I do to help you work more effectively? I'm open to suggestions.
