Classes went okay today. My toe is all nasty and purple but it no longer hurts so during my down time I was walking the campus. I hit up the student union and was just aimlessly walking around and who do I see? My classmate from last semester who got hit by a car about 5 feet away from me after class right before Thanksgiving break!!!!!!*this is where I would post a link to my post about the accident but I don't know how to do that! lol*
He was sitting down at one of the tables and when I saw him you would have thought he was my long lost brother! I walked up with the words "oh my God" coming out my mouth repeatly as I went and gave him a hug. Long story short...no broken bones, his body aches every now and again but he's "all good". Now no one can tell me that there is NOT a DIVINE power! NONONONONONONONONOOOOOOOO! No broken bones.....NONE after being hit by a freakin' CAR!!!!
It did my heart some kind of good to see him alive and smiling. The last time I saw him was when the EMS folk where putting his body on the stretcher to put him in the ambulance! I guess his body was in shock cuz his body was shaking hard. I never posted on my blog about how that accident messed me up for a few weeks after that. I just kept hearing the sound of the impact of their collision and seeing him laying there on the cold wet road. I still think of it EVERY time I am at that intersection where it happened, I just don't get very emotional about it anymore. He stayed on my mind constantly. I didn't know where they took him so I didn't know what hospital to call, then even if I did I wasn't family so they prolly wasn't gonna tell me anything anyway. I didn't know if he lived or died. Man it was good to see him get up out that chair and laugh!
What's weird is that I never talked to him when we were classmates, didn't really pay attention to what is name was. But after the accident he just layed heavy on my heart and there was nothing I could do. Just thinking about seeing him earlier today is bringing tears to my eyes. It was soooooooooooooooo good to see him and hug him, words can't really explain it. Thank God for allowing me to see him. Man! I can't put words to how I am still feeling.
After our brief "reunion" I went on about my business. I have taken a vow against taking elevators on campus and the flights of stairs are starting to get slightly easier....the key word being slightly!
Tomorrow I have my interim review with my supervisor and administrator. Even though they say just about the same thing in every review, these reviews freak me out! The only thing negative they may have on me is my online time. That I can deal with. With that said, I probably won't post tomorrow....well at least not until my lunch hour where it is authorized! *smile*

my performance review is this friday! i'm gonna demand i be promoted, damnit.
i'm so glad you saw your classmate! i'm wiping a tear away from my eye as i read this post. it's such a blessing that he made it through a trauma like that.
i hope your toe gets better! after i fractured two toes it took about three months, and one of the toes still ain't acting right. just take it easy and keep it elevated when you can.
Becareful with that toe babygirl.
Oh yes! God is good, all the time...
