Good Friday... So why today?
6:26 AM
The day started off pretty well. Woke up on the right side of the bed, went to college smelling of Palmolive body wash (i lurrrvveee palmolive, it makes me smell good thru out the entire day!), Dove conditioner and my new Impulse deo.... Hell, i even applied sunblock today!!
Bio was good. I managed to pay attention through most of the class, did feel kinda sleepy towards the end... Chem was alright as well, took some time to understand the whole concept of how the magnetic field of the a hydrogen influences that of the b hydrogen, don't ask! I think the stress of sitting for mocks in a weeks time has done wonders to my concentration span, but then again, i always work best under pressure so, nothing new there.
Had lunch with jacintha and christine... Christine was so amazed that jas got accepted into Harvard, she kept repeating it like it was lyrics to some irritating song that would play in your mind over and over again....
Then spent a good hour in the library studying the menstrual cycle, finally managed to get the hang of it, sigh!! Went to see Miss Irma to clarify something regarding the practical we discussed in class earlier on and ended up staying there for approximately an hour. I think we talked about EVERYTHING! From how she met her husband to where she's from to how her sons are getting on with their separate interests to what I was planning to do with my future to the upcoming Graduation ball..... Man, i think i just made a new best friend! What's better is, i felt completely at ease talking to her. There was no awkward moments or anything like that. She was really nice, it didn't feel like she was in authority and i was a student. It feels great to connect with someone that way, plus she's my assigned mentor!
Went back to the library to find Norman and Xin Lyn sitting at our table so we all ended up studying together. There was a lot of joking and poking fun at each other but ultimately, i did get work done. And, Norman taught me an easy way to remember how to derive the reaction law for the second order reaction, which i would've learnt had i not dropped physics.... Plus, i got to know Xin Lyn a little better, she's pretty bubbly and she's got a great sense of humour....
Left coll at around five pm and that's when the day turned a bit awry. Took a detour to fill up my tank and then, out of nowhere, i was supposed to step on the breaks but instead, my foot slammed on the accelerator and RAAMMMMMMM! i hit the car in front of me and literally caused a pile up. Three cars involved in the accident that I caused!!! There's absolutely no words to describe how i felt at that moment when i lost control. I just remember squeezing my eyes and a sick sense of trepidation. It was completely my fault. Almost two years of driving with no record of incompetency and this has to happen, on GOOD FRIDAY!!!
Anyways, things weren't so bad. I was traumatized but the other drivers were patient and considerate. The first thing i did was phone my mom and she was right there beside me in a blink of the eye. She dealt with everything and didn't shout/scold me, i'm so grateful that she was so understanding and even tried to comfort me, despite me being careless and ignorant. Plus, i tried to put myself into the other guys shoes. If someone rammed into me outta the blue, i would be terribly pissed off but he was very patient..... He was definitely the bigger person and so i apologized, twice. Went to the police station to make a report. Was freakin panicked coz i thought my licence was gonna be withdrawn (i only have a couple of mths left before i qualify as a competent driver). So my mom (again, the angel that GOD has blessed me with) decided to take the blame and so i was safe.... Sheesh! ALLL the trouble that i caused! I only feel tremendous guilt at this point. But i managed to learn from this incident. From today on wards, i promise to be extremely cautious on the road, i promise to quit driving like a rogue and boast about speed, i promise to treasure my mother with all my heart and soul (oh, and also that kind uncle who helped me) and i promise to never EVER take my foot off ne of the pedestals.....
At the moment, i'm blogging while listening to Christian songs on my Ipod Nano. And i'm realizing that i'm TRULY blessed.... These past few months, i was blinded by all the things in life that i didn't have. I took all the stuff that i did have for granted and i became a selfish, self absorbed person. I never once realized that compared to so many other people i AM lucky. I have the best mother in the world, i have awesome friends, i have all my five senses in tact, I've been blessed in health and in wealth and most importantly, i have people who love me and care for me and will never EVER leave me alone when i'm in trouble. God is looking out for me. He has always and will always and for that i am TRULY grateful......
