Not-so-lucky Day

Thursday (30th April), it was not a good day for me. It was the day for my Final Year Report (FYP) submission, but that was not the problem. You see, in the FYP guidelines, it is clearly stated that we need to submit TWO light blue cover report (hard copy) and ONE CD (soft copy). At 11am, my reports were ready to be submitted. But as soon as I went to the faculty office, they said I have to submit TWO (freaking) CDs AND bind my research papers together with the report. So, that was fine, as well, as I still have the time to rush home which is 13 minutes away, burn another CD, go to the binding shop to add the additional research paper, in time for my tutorial class at 12pm. I was Mika Häkkinen for a moment and the heat of the day does not help at all. Before I left the house, my mum asked me whether I have taken all that I need and I said with confidence, YES! But I soon learn later that, that was not the case.

So, I rushed back to the binding shop and as I got into the car to drive to campus to resubmit, I found myself searching high and low for the other copy of the CD. I said, "Sh*t! I left the other CD on my computer table! Sherilyn, you are in beyond the valley of forgetfullness." (Mumbling to myself, I hope no one saw me as they would think I had gone cuckoo.) At that instant, I dialled Mum on her mobile phone to ask her if she sees a CD on my table while I know well I left it there. And (cold) truth be told, my purple CD is resting peacefully, probably laughing like a devil at me. That time, it was close to 12pm. I told myself, I can't rush back now, I'll miss the class.

And guess what? I waited in the class for a (stupid) 10 minutes and no one turned up. The reason? You'll probably know. Class was cancelled, not that day itself, but apparently, the tutor told the whole class last week. I went furious but keep my cool. I must not be paying attention to him while he was talking crap in class. Well, crap claimed its victory that day. Smiling down wickedly at me saying, "HA! That's for not listening to ME!". I said, "CRAP!"

By that time, Anna was at the faculty office to submit hers. After that, we went lunch together and this was nearly 1pm. I poured out all my frustration (at myself) to Anna. Being the best bud that she is, Anna was a good listener, she always will be. *smiles*

I headed home after filling my tummy, took my CD and drove straight to campus to re-resubmit. I breathed out a sigh of relief.
