RAIN!

yesterday

It all just kinda happened.

I woke up on this day with mixed feelings, feelings of joy because finally my HOD would be in his office that day and I needed him to sign off my project work so I could move on to the next stage. Feelings of worry because he might leave his office if I don't go there on time, since he became HOD (head of department) he has been scarce, busy, moving his way through work like a spirit. So, any opportunity you get to see him grab it with both hands.

I woke early like I said, had my bathe, I didn't even bother to eat because I wanted to keep to time or else I might not see him, then I took off to school and on getting to my school gate I met the driver to the CSO (chief security officer) he was holding everyone that dressed indecently outside the gate me inclusive and that's because the gown I wore had a slit. I was angry and impatient because I was pressed for time. I begged and pleaded but all my pleas fell on deaf ear.

I figured out if I continued begging him he's not going to allow me in so I quickly rushed home but not without me spending extra money because of course I didn't bargain on me going back home to change. I got changed and was allowed in, this time I was putting on a top and trousers. On getting there my HOD was still in the office. Phew! I breathe a sigh of relief, but still I had to wait for him for hours and when he was done he said "your project is right there on the table, you could have just picked it and gone your way" I felt like crying, after all the stress I went through at the gate and I waited here for hours, my project was just lying there. Signed! It has been there since our external defense.

I quietly picked up my project and was happy that at least nothing really disrupted my plans for today, little did I know there was more. On my way to continue with the other signings and processing my slippers cut 😭 the other people (my supervisor and my dean) were said to be leaving the office soon. With my cut slippers I carried on and then my worst nightmare 😞 RAIN! Started I felt like giving up, or maybe I should give up and do this another day, but I don't know when they will be in their offices again. I struggled under the rain and was able to finish the whole process.

I got home didn't bother to eat (I bought food while I was in school), changed my clothes and went up to bed.
