Extensions

This is a very interesting word - depending on the circumstances, it could either be a good thing or bad thing.
For some women, hair extensions mean, they don't have to put up with their cropped crown just because they chopped it off in a rage. They could still have long locks without having to be patient. If hair grows about an inch every 8 weeks, that could certainly be a bummer on vanity.
For the cash-strapped on credit, extensions could mean anything from being made a bankrupt to settlement of the loan.
For the holiday-goer, extensions could mean having too great a time that reality should be put on hold.
For the prisoner, an extention on their parole date could mean they didn't behave surprisingly and so they will just stay within the 4 walls until they do.

For the student, an extension means - Thank you GOD for keeping our professor so occupied that he is unable to receive our current assignment, which means, we have another week to re-write, re-read, re-think our paper, all the REs, just so we don't have to re-this semester!
