When life hands you an extension

For the past 10 days, a colleague and I have been scrounging together a proposal for the National Reading Conference. In truth, we've been in chickens-with-our-heads-cut-off-mode. And then, this afternoon, approximately 3 hours (!!) before we were going submit our work to the conference's website, my colleague got an email. Apparently, the website was going haywire, so they extended the deadline...until Wednesday afternoon. And, for my crazed little gradschool brain, 2 full extra days to look at a proposal seems like eons upon eons. I think we'll get a chance to more calmly review what we've written and clarify a few points, which is never a bad thing!
