My Saturday: A Day of Unexpected Twists and Turns

Have you ever made plans that all ended up going the way you least expected them to? I guess you would have, because in this life, it is common to make plans for an occasion, and when the time comes, things do not go the way we want them to, or we face things we least expected that would make our day a whole lot different from the way we thought it would be.

This was how my Saturday went—totally different from how I had imagined it to be. I had played the scenario of my experience for the meeting I was going to before I travelled to Lagos from school. In fact, it is the main reason for my travelling, but things went a whole different way than I imagined. So let me tell you how it went.

To understand this story, I would suggest you read the post I last published, which talked about my travelling to Lagos from school, before you continue on with this. Click the image below to visit the post:

First, my trip to Lagos was more stressful than it usually is. It takes me less than 3 hours to get home from Lagos, but this time, I used about 6 hours to journey to Lagos with the traffic I face and all that. With all the stress, I had to go to the vigil my dad invited me to. I had no choice, even though I knew I was too tired and did not want to go again.

After the vigil, I noticed my dad would not be able to take me to where I was going with his car, just as he promised. I got annoyed that I had to come to Ikorodu, which is very far from where I was intentionally going, instead of going to where my brother stays, which is way closer.

The journey from my side to the venue was almost 2 hours, and I still attended a vigil, during which I would need to rest enough in order to have the strength to get where I was going. When I got home from the vigil around seven, I had to quickly prepare my stuff to leave home as early as possible, but I got to the park late because my house is far from where I would take a bus to the venue.

The programme was to start by 10 a.m., and I was getting to the park by 9:20 a.m. for almost a 2-hour drive. I knew I would be getting there late regardless, but I still wanted to go. My energy totally died when I had to wait at the bus terminal for over an hour as there was no bus to pick us up. I was at the terminal until 10:40. I looked at the time and when the programme was ending—which was 12 p.m.—to know if I should still stay or leave.

To worsen things, I started feeling like going to the toilet while waiting in the queue. I had no other choice but to cancel my trip because if the bus came around, I would be getting there by 1 pm, and I would also have to hold myself for almost 2 hours before I could get a toilet to use.

I changed my mind instantly. I went to find a public toilet to use and then went straight back home, angry about the whole day. I had spent quite some money to be able to get to the park and loaded some money on my transport (BRT) card.

I was very tired and unhappy at the same time. I was sleeping in the vehicle I took back home, and I went straight to bed after I got home. I didn't know what else to be doing, as being awake would make me think about the whole day, which would not help matters for me.

Anyway, that's how the whole day went. I take it as God's plan for me. Maybe he has better plans for me; who knows?
