the day i almost got a heart attack,

Today made history.













I overslept and missed my last paper.

Bam.

I went to bed at 2 yesterday for a quick nap, was meant to be up at 3 (ok maybe 4) to resume studying and apparently I got up to turn off my alarm BUT went back to sleep because I jumped out of bed to the sound of birds chirping and bright sunshine. Saw that it was 10.20, realized that I missed my last paper which started at 8.45, promptly started freaking out and burst into tears. Not sure which happened first. Anyway I got ready like the speed of light and sped off to the bus stop, only to miss it by literally I swear seconds. Freaked out and cried more, called my sister and she got Don to come all the way to drop me off at uni.

On the way I made frantic calls to the Examination Office to find out whether I could still sit for my paper (it was a 3 hour paper, by then it was about 10.50) and they said I couldn't because 'overslept' was not a good reason!! So much for teaching us not to lie, next time I am going to lie and say I had a heart attack which honestly at that point I'm pretty sure I almost did.

Anyway I was bloody lucky, or extremely blessed since situations like these can only happen with God's intervention, and found out they had an afternoon paper which my topic coordinator graciously allowed me to sit for instead.

This was damn epic I seriously have not cried so much since.... well ever, really. Needless to say I didn't get to study much but at least I passed the topic.

Oh gosh, I'm so glad today is over and done with.
