Another Day; Proverbs 27:17
This post is from yesterday, but my site’s MySQL server was being VERY slow so I couldn’t post it then.
I got to drive the IT Helpdesk cart (golf-cart type deal) today! I was with Joe, and I think I scared him a couple times. The most embarassing part was coming into a parking space too quick, and ending up screeching to a halt into the space. Joe joked that he thought we were going to plow through the fence in front of us, haha.
Well, so I got to know the rounds on delivering and picking up equipment! And then we came back, and I left the key to the cart in my pocket. But I didn’t discover this until wayyyy later. More on that soon.
So after that I came back home, and started working on homework that I saved until the last minute. But then I got an email saying that the class (English, for the record) was cancelled. This is the third time this semester it’s been cancelled already! Anyhow, I took it as a blessing, so I worked on homework for the next class, my Early Church and Acts class, which is at 6:00.
Before that, aroudn 5:00, I went over with my mom and sister to wish my grandma a happy birthday. We socialized a bit (I didn’t), then I had to drive off to class. Class was good - I’m on the ball with the homework in that class tonight (last week I wasn’t)!
After class I drove home and noticed a few sprinkles on my windshield. I thought I just drove through a sprinkler, but it kept falling, so I thought it was just misting maybe. By the time I got home it was definitely sprinkling, because it fell on my as I was getting out of the car! And it got pretty strong, at least for a September cloudburst. It was somewhat bizarre…
It turns out to be a thunder storm, since there has been a lot of lightning with it! Right now, as I’m writing this, it’s not raining, but there is every once in a while a little flash of lightning, which freaks me out - I’m sitting here typing on my computer, which is connected to the electrical and cable lines!
I’m reminded of a time not so long ago that I thought it would be a nice little joke that God could make it rain in the middle of summer, at the end of a hot day or something. This was kind of like that, but I know it’s really not that unusual for this tiem of year. It’s fun anyhow - it started sprinkling just when I got out of class, then raining when I got home.
And for the end of the day - I got an email from Joe asking if I had the keys to the cart. Sure enough, they were in my pocket. So I drove back to Biola and ended up having to get Campus Safety open up the IT Helpdesk for me so I could return the keys. That was my second most embarassing moment involving the cart…
