The right way to begin

The right way to begin

Today was my first day of classes after the winter break.

In a large nutshell, here’s how it went:

My luggage got lost during my flight, I got locked out of my apartment, missed my first class, slept through the next two, dropped the next one, and wore a skirt and sandals to organic chem lab (highly illegal), so I had to borrow XXL scrub pants and men’s size 12 sneakers from the stockroom (and wear them w/o the luxury of socks). I also forgot my goggles, spilled all my chemicals and destroyed my experiment while chemically burning my right hand with 3M HCl and the likes.

I started off the right way, didn’t I?

–> Humbled.

It’s funny: sometimes you half regret what you prayed for.
