Did I just do that?

Yes I just walked away, unnoticed. The beautiful thing about my gown was that it was a wrap-around, so it was a simple thing to wear it back, and not be noticeably wet. I walked quickly to the club pool and entered. Five minutes later I was in the pool with two other people, showing mild interest as sirens came towards our end of campus.

The fact that some people almost drowned, and I was able to save them had not sank into my skull yet. Iwas still worried about the four courses from physics that i might have to register for next week. I left the pool by 6.30pm. I was refreshed, and I had reached my "topit" level.
Definition of topit - the level where I let go and let God top it with a miracle.

When I got back to the hall, there was so much noise about the incident, I began to wonder if it was the same one. But the focus was not what I expected.

Some were exclaiming how God had saved Nigeria from total shame - they claimed that the boys were the sons of the internationally famous Bishop T. D. who had come to the country for a much popularized concert.

Others even said the person might not have been human (I chuckled at that one), because of the "inhuman strength" the person must have had to save both boys.

Some were disgusted at what they heard that the swimmer had done - the person that saved the boys from drowning (on some accounts it was a female, on others it was too athletic to be a female so it was a male), just dressed up and walked away. just walked away from the whole scene.

I was surprised at that one. I didn't expect the people to be angry and disgusted at that. It was the most logical thing to do for me at the time. What would I have been waiting for?

Strangest thing

As I was saying, I decided to go swiming at the staff club pool. Since Mum's a member, i can do that anytime. The club pool is just beside the lagoon front, and I strolled towards the entrance, lifting my head to feel the breeze whip past my ears (I love to do this), when I heard a scream. I walked all the way to the lagoon front, and was shocked to see two boys drowning.
Honestly, they were drowning and the currents of the lagoon was taking them farther away from the water's edge. The funniest part was that people were standing there, watching!
I mean it. People were watching as these boys struggled with the currents. I reacted as I came closer to the edge - I removed my gown and swung it on a nearby tree, removed my slip-ons, and watch, put the watch into one of the shoes, and put it by the tree. I took a deep breath, and tried to calm myself down, then dove in.
Ten minutes later, I had handed over the weaker boy to someone on the shore, and swam back for the other one.
It was all over in thirty minutes. The boys were coughing, and spurting out water, and a big black man was trying to make calls to someone on his cell phone for help. The crowd had gathered by then, and another guy kept shouting that everyone not crowd over the boys.

My work was done. I picked up my shoes, grabbed my gown and walked away.

Trouble

An amazing thing happened today. Well, after terrible disaster actually. During the week, the department finally pasted all our results - you know from year one. Under normal circumstances, they were supposed to paste each result after each semester, but not this department. We were just seeing our results for the whole year one, and year two for the first time.
Imagine that! And the looks on people's faces began to change as they saw theirs. I waited for the crowd to reduce before venturing near. You should imagine the look on my face when I saw what was there. I had four carry-overs!
I could not grasp it. I could not even fathom the meaning of that! I am in my third year, about to register for my courses, and I hav just realized that I have four courses to repeat. I walked back to my hall slowly.
i tried to recall where I had gone wrong - those courses were all physics borrowed courses. I wasnt dull in the subject so there had to be another explanation. Maybe my matriculation number got missing or was not registered when it was given to me, by the department. Maybe my own results were mistaken for anothers. Maybe .... maybe...by the time I got to my room (third floor), I could not come up with any other excuse.
God had to find a way out for me.
Ok. Enough of the gloom. by 4.30pm I could not sleep, I was really gloomy, and sad, and I could not think of a way out of my predicament. My roommates were curious as to why I came to the room early, and why I refused to go with them to the party they have tonight. So I decided to go for a walk - to the lagoon.
On second thoughts, I changed to my swim suit, wore my clothes on top, and continued towards the lagoon. I had started the day with a happy mind. But the day would close with my mind thoroughly tied up in bits.
