“Better early than never” is not usually my motto. “Better late,” maybe, or perhaps even, “meh…oh well,” but no one has ever accused me of being punctual, much less early. I had an algebra class in college once that I didn’t care that much about, and I often showed up 20-30 minutes late to the [...]
