Quite silly indeed
I was happily studying Biology last night in my room when I realized I was missing a few pages of notes. I did not panic instantly. I searched through the other file which I used to carry some of the notes to lectures. I searched it twice. Flipped through every single page. Couldn't find it.Then, the panic started to build up. In five minutes, I was frantically searching through my other files. Even though I knew it couldn't possibly be there, I kept flipping through all of them. My housemates were not home at that time. I needed to tell someone about it because I was so upset and frustrated. The line, "Where could it possibly be?" kept running through my head over and over again. I felt hopeless. I sat down on the chair, and looked at the missing part of the file again. Then I thought maybe I misplaced it somewhere in that same file. I flipped through all my Biology notes but in vain.
As soon as I heard my housemates downstairs, I came out of the room and told them about my predicament. Then, both of them helped me search through everything again. I made a phone call to a friend to ask her to check her files too as she was at my house a few days ago doing assignments. After ending the phone call, my housemate who was checking my Biology notes asked me, "Is this the one?"
You know, I felt like melting at that spot when I saw what she was holding.
And where was it all this while?
It was right before me ... in that same file of Biology notes ...
Somehow, I missed it when I was checking through it.
Phew. If I actually lost that whole chunk of notes, I would be so upset that I won't have the heart to continue studying it. There is so much information on there. Although it is just printouts of power point slides, I copy notes on those during lectures. It was quite silly indeed. And my housemates found me hillarious.
