it was the usual monday morning. quiet and peaceful. made my way grudgingly to school. as i sat in com208 lecture, i was hastily preparing my speech presentation for com205 later. the class started and edwin wasnt here. not a wonder i thought, he probably overslept again. after the class ended, i hurried to do some finishing preparations for my speech at the cs benches. then edwim appeared in front of me and i knew what he was going to say. haha. guessed it right, he overslept. he asked me if we had time to eat still, i glanced at my laptop and said yes. so we went off, fulfilling the monday routine, albeit late. as we walked out of cs, he was practising his speech but honestly none went into my head. i just pretended to listen and nodded. just then, we noticed the police car and the paramedics, which drove before our eyes. curious, edwin stopped his string of words and looked towards the eee block, me too. wonder what was that man. after some speculation, we concluded that the chemical plant had a leak or maybe even a slight explosion and that caused some injury. surely that doesnt call for the police right?? oh well. we rushed through our meals as we catch the last glimpse of our scripts. suddenly, a group of girls cried out, omg you know what happened? someone just committed suicide!
omg.
within half an hour, the news was diffused throughout the school. at the end of com205, valerie said the news was up on the net. apparently, that guy stabbed a prof and killed himself.
goodness gracious.
IF, IF, if edwin did not oversleep, and came to 208 class, we would have carried out our usualy monday routine, and leave cs at approximately 1010 for can B for brunch, come back with brunch at approximately 1030.
1030. the time the guy jumped.
i read the eye witness report on cna and thank God so much that i wasnt the one. goodness. could be a traumatic experience.
thank God edwin overslept.
10:18 PM
blessed.
