I apologize for being late for class today. I started on my way to school at 7:30am. Public transportation is usually pretty reliable, but the inclimate weather today was wreaking havoc on the roads this morning. I'm glad we that made it safely. Thank you for your dedication  tenacity to get to the school for us. Thank you for all of your help above and beyond as well. # Have a good night, be safe and stay warm.
