Duty Day Distress
I can’t seem to understand why – no matter how early I wake up in the morning to go to school to fulfill guard duty – I still end up messing up with things. I mean, for example, this afternoon, instead of guarding doors and gates like the rest of my group mates were, I went home to retrieve the Economics book I accidentally left behind at home. See, it was our Economics Unit Test this afternoon and I sort of wanted to study so I went home instead of guarding – although I did finish studying after like fifteen minutes and spent the rest of my break time surfing the net for anything that might interest me.
See how bad I am at this duty thing? Weird things always happen to me during duty days: being late to duty, being sick, having other things to do, etc.
But aside from that undoubtedly strange phenomenon I have something else to share. This happened last Monday and it happened so unobtrusively that no one noticed. See, my friend’s pink bag got lost. We were all panicking, we thought someone stole it – well, we still think someone stole it… Most of her important things – like her locker key and her school ID and her wallet and her pink stuffed elephant keychain – were there. The freakiest thing was that her stuff started appearing one by one day by day. Last Tuesday, a girl found her locker key. Yesterday, our classmate returned her ID, saying that the same girl who found her locker key was also the one who handed the ID to her! (D’you get that?) And, look here just now, the girl in question was seen with my friend’s elephant keychain!
…
Suspicious, don’t you think? It’s funny that the discovery of her “lost” possessions can be credited to just one person. Of course, I wouldn’t want to charge that girl of anything – I know her, you know, and she is quite sweet – but it’s not exactly what you would want to call coincidence, is it?
…
Before I log off this thing to memorize those volume formulas for the Physics test tomorrow, I’d just like to write – for the sake of posterity and for the sake of me remembering the milestones in my life – something happened to me that sort of pointed me into an interesting career path. I might seriously be a teacher, you know, thanks to that experience from the Rotary Club…
Sigh. I guess that’s all for now. I have a feeling that my prepaid card is on the verge of dying out on me.
Poof!
