angels and saviours at the 11th hour

Since last Wednesday, I have been sniggering at myself and the mess I’ve placed myself in.

I was pretty occupied with 2 assignments and exchange application. Along the way, there are many who offered a helping hand even if my request could be at the 11th hour.

for that, I'm really really grateful.


Today is the due date for my exchange application. But i was unable to meet my referee in time to get the necessary documents. So i went down to the exchange office and told the counter clerk. He asked "Why are you only doing it today?" with the very buay song attitude. I gave him an answer which i couldn't remember. Jus in the nick of time, my tutor called to save me from further humiliation. (yea. alright. it's jus pure coincidence). After putting down the phone, i went to the counter again, he said "well, there's nothing we can do if u cant submit by 5 but first thing in the morning tomorrow." i bet he rolled his eyes at some point of time. anyway, after thanking him, i hurried off to get my stuff printed.

After much trouble, the file was finally sent over. but the time was nearly 3pm. and it's impossible for me to rush down to his office by 3. i called him again and we settled on scanning the documents with the signature and i'll submit the scanned copy. Sounds feasible and easy. But i had a hard time getting the documents printed and scanned cuz the faculty refuse to provide me with a A4 sheet with the uni logo. and i cant ask from my tutor cuz he's not based in campus and he'll only be there on thursday. hence, I decided to look for my first referee.. but he wasn't around. >.<

In the end, i went to look for my lecturer who taught me 3 years ago. after listening to my explanation (i must say that i was speaking incoherently and short of breathe, it's 3 storeys up the stairs.. omg.. i'm weak), he said "this may help you" and he handed me some A4 paper with the uni letterhead. i remembered vividly that i went "OMG.. Thank you so much" >.<

After that i went over to meet J. at the printing store to get my stuff printed and scanned. it took some time but finally, it's done. I called my tutor and he said he'll be able to send it back to me ard 5pm.

when i din receive any email from him at 5.30, i smsed him. and he din reply. so i thought he had forgotten about me.

My tutor, is my saviour. He proved me wrong and i'm ashamed.

He sent me the documents within the time frame i requested. He must be thinking i'm such a demanding, no sense of time kinda girl and yet, he still did his best to help me.

at 6.30 i received my reference letter. he has missed out the other one so i smsed him.
at 10.00 pm, i received my application letter.
both signed.



2 out of 3 overdue submission.

By now, i should have learnt something.

I admit. I was wrong.
