patience

old people said that God loves patience people. Hum, I never thought of that until today. So here's the story, yesterday I lost my binder which contains syllabus, class notes, GPA for classes that I have taken, study progress and many important stuff :D. So yesterday basically I was like crazy people, keep thinking where did I left it, so I break down into: Starbucks, SL 70Computer Lab and SL110 which was the classroom where the last time I saw my binder. Then I think that if I left it in SL110 then it means that the professor will take it and keep it because it was his habit.

Yesterday night I prayed to God saying to Him with 100% belief that today He'll help me to find my binder and I'll find it. So in the morning, I went to starbucks and talked with starbucks' employee. After I explain my condition, he try to look it and can't find it anywhere but he promised me that he'll ask the manager that was on duty yesterday. The next stop is SL 70 computer lab. The proctor of that computer lab isn't friendly and he just tell me to go to LD 124 which was lost and found place for stuff that was lost in SL 70. After I go to the LD 124, the secretary tell me that there's no binder that was lost in LD 70 yesterday. Wah, this time big doubt start to arise in my head. But I try to keep going and believe.

After I'm done asking people, I went to the class and after that I spent some time to go to wall mart since I need to buy grip for my badminton rackets. After I buy the grip I'm planning to eat in egg roll no 1 since the wall mart was next to the restaurant but the restaurant was closed. It makes me a little bit angry. The problems haven't stop yet, after I'm back in campus I try to find parking space and I want a parking space in SL & LD parking lot since it was the nearest one with my classroom. At first I realize that the parking space was full, I asked God for a parking space, then after I can't find it when I go up to the highest floor, I try to find it when I go down. There's only one car in front of me when I go down and all of sudden there's one guy walk and the car in front of me make a full stop to find out where is this guy parking. Believe it or not, this guy park on the right side in front of the car in front of me. It pissed me a little bit since now I start to think, what if I go first and the car in front of me late. Then this parking space will belong to me. Then I can't find any parking space in this building and I try to turn around and go up again. When I was on the top floor again, one car suddenly broke the stop sign and now I'm behind this one car again. When we go down, the same thing happen again. One guy suddenly walk in front of us and he get out from his car. After that the car in front of me take the parking space. One time is okay but 2nd time really irritates me. Still trying to be patient and get out from this parking lot. I went to ET parking space and really thanks God I can find parking space right after I went to the parking lot :D.

Then back to my binder, I go to the ME department and talk with my professor, he said that he didn't find any binder. It really makes me sad since now I need to print of all of the syllabus and class power point + borrow someone notes again (this happen at approximately in the noon). Then after I take 1 class, it was 2:45 PM, I went home since my next class is at 7:30 PM. Right after I back to my apt, someone called me and ask whether I can help her to pick up her car that she just bought 5 days ago. I said yes and she looks really satisfied and happy with her new car :D. After that I played badminton for a while and then I went to my last class.

Believe it or not, 15 minutes after I'm sitting in the classroom, I notices that there is a binder on the lecturer's table. Then I ask my classmates to pick it up for me. Believe it or not again, it is my binders. Thanks God so much.

Now I understand a little bit about patience. If I was more patience probably I won't spend extra money on printing syllabus (now we have to pay 4 cents/page if we want to print in IUPUI). Well but above all I still want to thanks God.
