It's funny I felt SO unlucky and then SO lucky within the span of 12 hours yesterday.
It's 6.30am, sky is still dark but it's getting bright. Pack up, leaving the PC commons to rest before meeting le friends for breakfast later. Dreading the walk back, especially since in an hour the first shuttle bus starts running. Wonder if i should take the car out of UCC and drive back to room instead. But figured I'd have to drive back later to park it so forget it.
Next scene, reach hall gate and fumbling in bag for key. Panic setting in. No key. NO FREAKING KEY. Sitting at my room door emptying all the pockets and bags and looking in stupid places, hoping and praying the dang thing will magically appear. But nope.
Can't even take a bus back to search, since I could've dropped it anywhere along the walk. So i walk back tracing my steps. Weary eyes on the ground, consciously trying not to think hate-the-world-type thoughts, trying to focus on what they say you ought to do with lemons. Finally found the key in the middle of the road at the entrance of the bridge to UTown. Send up/out a thanks that at least I don't have to walk all the way in through UTown. Took car out, drove back, showered, crashed. Sun's out.
My breakfast buddies are reaching school. I'm in bed and feel like ass, appetite the last thing on my mind. "8.30am," i tell myself, "8.30am i'll get out of bed". Didn't happen. Instead le breakfast buddies came over. while my brain's still asleep and my eyes can barely open. with presents!! and macs breakfast!! too sweet. then they go for class and i go back to slumber-land after hashbrown and mcmuffin while lying down in bed. <- Mom would be so proud.
Meeting with prof was kinda crappy. Having a supervisor's overrated. Or maybe my draft just sucked. Whatever. But i went to meet le breakfast buddies - turn - thesis readers and they were reading my draft so i played the parking game on le phone which i totally scoffed at when dad showed us. <- Dad would be so proud
Comments, suggestions, company of le thesis readers made my day and gave me hope the paper's not a complete piece of shit after all. Now time to work!!! Counting down the days :) Friends are gold.
