Relief

Geez.. How I could have completely forgotten that the lab sessions on Wednesday start at 9am is beyond me. But I did. And I thought that I had 10am class on that day. So as I looked at the timetable, I felt like killing myself. Especially since the lecturer who is coordinating the subject has reminded us that we have to make formal application for lab session transfers. I was late, so no such reprive. I could only hope that the other lecturer tasked to teach the subject would be the supervisor today. I think I might have mentioned him in this blog before. L!m is his name.

As luck would have it, he was the lecturer in charge today. Still, I wasn't expecting an easy time. I went up to him, said I was sorry. Before I could go on, he said to replace on Friday. He hardly even blinked. No show of disappoval or displeasure. He just asked me to come another day. Its really quite hard to express the kind of relief I felt when I heard him say that. I really didn' want to get barred from this subject.

So, here is to Dr. Lim. A truly practical man whose priorites lie in getting the job done and not in the bloody anal world of protocols and procedures.
