At work today, my students challenged me to get my hair braided in corn rows when I go to Jamaica tomorrow. They even took up a collection of money to pay for it.
A professor donated to the fund.
In a meeting this afternoon, my supervisor mentioned the collection and encouraged my co-workers to donate. Got money there. One co-worker even volunteered to pay for the whole thing if I would get it done.
Oh my . . . what have I gotten myself into?
