Sí! No me gusta matar el tiempo con las cuentas. Las matemáticas más altas son más importantes.

Tu nota en el trabajo está baja debido a tu atraso.

Now to be on context and this might be funny to some and not to others. For the latter I apologize in advance.

Más asustada que monja con atraso

I will be waiting...

In this case, we also say "retraso":

Mi hermana cree que está embarazada, tiene un retraso de un mes (o tiene una falta)

Surely this sentence will answer your question about the nun, Lou Ann

More frightened than a nun whose period is late.
