STRANGER

I am so excited this morning. Truthfully, I think my excitement spilled over from yester night( I always hear people say that, is it correct?)

Well, last evening  I decided to log onto my school website to read my mail something that I hadn’t done in a while. This is because i have spent the greater part of this month(read whole month) exploring my new found joy- my ipad( I hope I can blog about it sometime J) Back to my story, I discovered the assignment I had handed in had been marked already (isn’t my tutor cool?) actually two weeks back. 

If you are like me, you always approach the results with a racing heart and you are thinking “damn, did i meet the pass mark!  I have news, I was impressed by my performance and  my  tutor also gave very good feedback so ama make an A for my next assignment which is soon by the way.  

This might give you an idea of how excited I was: I had to listen to my tutor’s voice remarks over and over again. Trust me, I will listen in once more when I am about to do the next assignment. It was really good news especially after the dampening email he wrote to the class explaining how most of us might be disappointed by our performance.

Then, this morning on my way to work I meet this stranger. I over slept( that is when you wake up past the time you normally wake up) and was running late. I contemplated whether iIshould drive or use public transport, I decided to use public transport. So here I was racing towards the stage( like the bus stop) and a car slows down, driver lowers their window and asks whether i am heading to town. (side note:  kidnap is common in this town and it happens to adults as well so i am not keen on free rides) Without much thought I popped into the car and off we went. I was thinking, ah ah !

This stranger was handsome, smart, he didn’t talk much and I did what was out of the ordinary for me; introduced myself first. By that I mean telling him my name by the way. So we listened to radio throughout the 20mins or so we spent together(read drove through the heavy morning traffic). I happen to work further than him but he drove past his office and dropped me. Isn’t he so kind?

So,  angelic strangers exist after all.  That, folks  is  the cause of my excitement this morning !
