really something to thank God for...

basically, all students have a student id. and this card also is the kinda debit card for my housing food account. and well, after gulping dinner down last night, i hastily stashed it away in my outer coat's pocket, and proceeded to trudge my way in the cold to the library to finish up my paper. and after that, i trudged my way back in the cold to a nice warm bed.

yea, you guessed it. somewhere along the way, either to or from the lib, the card ended up falling out of my pocket. guess it prob occurred when i was trying to stick my glove-covered hands in cos it was freezing out. (there's a zip on my pockets which usually remain close, unless of cos, my hands are in them) i guess i never expected it to fall out, because well, my bus card ticket thing that entitles me to free bus rides, my keys, and my hairband were all still inside safe and sound when i arrived home. needless to say, i was totally panicking, cos i knew i had the card with me when i exited from the dining hall, and it's kinda... difficult to find it in the streets when it's one looooooong stretch in the cold with snow all around.

that really sent me to bed in a miserable mood. i could have gotten a replacement one and voided this card, but the replacement would be $15 and another long trudge to the id place. great way to end my day after an exhausting, mind-draining, tiring day. and i juz kept praying that it was aroud somewhere... (kinda like "God, please please please please let it be in my pocket".. check the pockets. not there. repeat prayer and following action about a million times. well. guess what? it never appeared there. or in my back. or anywhere near me")

this morning, checking my school email, guess what? this senior instrumental specialist guy from the UW-Botany Dept found my card IN THE STREET. He left it with the receptionist from the botany dept, but not only that, proceeded to search for my email address and inform me about it! and he sent out the email to me at 6.30am in the morning! now all i need to do is find my way to that hall...

i'm soooooooo thankful to God. what are the odds that someone would pick it up and go all the way to do that? what are the odds that it would have even been found? truly, God was, and is, looking out for me. Thank You Father, what can i say? i love You.
