The Queen of All Lost Things (meaning me) lost her matric card at the start of last sem. No, wait, I lost it even
before the start of last sem, sometime during rag rehearsals at Xenbar. I remember assuming I left it at Xenbar and therefore resigning myself to the fact that I would never get it back.
And so I subsisted until now on
no matric card.
I borrowed library books on other people's cards (i think I pissed a lot of people off. I'm very lousy at returnuing books on time)
I had to go on a matric card hunt everytime I wanted to use the USP computer room to print. When all else failed, I knocked on the door and stared in with big, sad eyes.
I would be the only idiot using ezlink card for identification during exams.
And so my life was for the past semester and a half until last Thursday I decided to get my act together and go apply for a new card at the student centre since I was going to be there to pay my bills. I was very proud of myself :)
And then TODAY, yes,
TODAY I receive an email from OSA, telling me to go down and
collect my lost card which has been found .
Absolutely. Perfect. Timing.
Now i got
two matric cards.
Its not like owning two cards is going to make up for all the times I
didn't have a card. Think what, (0+2) divide by 2 = 1
issit??If you're laughing at this, I'm telling you, its not funny
