One Little Miracle
I was feeling low this early morning. As I entered the auditorium for my NatSci class, I scanned the huge hall for familiar faces. Finding none, I chose a seat at the back close to the door so I can discreetly leave whenever I want to.
Wanting to cheer myself up, I scanned the huge room for a glimpse of my crush. But I couldn't spot him so I said a silent prayer to God. I said, I wish I'd see him today. Then I thought, what are the chances that God would listen to me. He's probably busy with other important stuff. Why should He care about a petty matter as my seeing David today. And in this crowd of 1 million (alright, I tend to exaggerate.) loonies, I doubt.
But lo, I did see him. And how? There were 3 screens onstage that day. It was not a regular class. Our professor looked pumped for a mega marathon lecture. You'd think all screens will be used for his presentation but no, one camera was devoted to show the audience. I don't know why. But my guess is so that the class will be attentive to his lecture. Really?
As the presentation progressed, the camera rolled and my classmates kept smiling at the camera especially when they catch themselves onscreen. There were snickers and giggles, and of course, our lecturer got annoyed. Then some classmates got brazen and started waving at the cam, making the rest chuckle. Prof. X got so pissed at our immaturity and without warning, stormed out of the room. But who's more juvenile now?
You'd think, the class would feel sorry but no, we actually erupted in laughter. His immaturity went well for us. His walk-out meant dismissal. We were so relieved, we got off early. I just hope he doesn't give a surprise quiz next meeting. Knowing him, that's probably how he'll get his revenge at us.
But before I sign off, I did see him, my crush. He was flashed on the screen not only once but twice! I believe the first one was for God to let me know that, He listens to mundane prayer requests such as mine and that, yes, crushie was in the room. But since the shot was too tight, almost a close-up, he had to be shown again another time. The second time was a bit far so I got to spot where he was. After class, I got to position myself so he would pass by me at the aisle and we got to say hi and chat a bit. Heaven!
Thank you, Lord for my little miracle today! ;p
