Well, my Captain's (from Civil Air Patrol) best friend died in a motorcycle accident and he had a chance at living if he wore a helmet. My Captain requested a handful of cadets to go with him this Thursday with their Blues uniform. I was one of the first people to respond to his email. We had to be at one of the middle schools by 4:00 PM (which isn't that that far). Turns out, my High School got out at 3:25 PM. My mom and dad had work so no luck with that. So after school, in one hand, I had a bag of my shoes, socks, and belt and in the other I had an umbrella (since it rained pretty hard this morning). Don't forget the fact that I have about tons of stuff to bring back home in my backpack. I was peddling my bicycle to its death to get there on time.
Once I got there, I hopped into the bathroom, started changing, and realized; I FORGOT MY DAMN WHITE T-SHIRT. I do have a tendency to forget things often, but this sucked. In the morning, I was rustling with time to get ready for school, to get ready for the school days AFTER that (since I'm in Honors, we have HW everyday), AND to get ready for the service. I was super occupied yesterday with a meeting, so I didn't have a chance. There was no way I was going to be able to go back home to get the t-shirt and get back to the school. I could've rode my bike to the funeral home, but when I looked at the time, it was too late. I had to wear a white t-shirt because it's in the uniform regulations (not doing so is pretty bad) and I had to have a complete uniform. So I told him I couldn't participate, but he wasn't pissed at me (phew), but I feel super bad about it.
So yeah, just a lesson. Just make sure to double check your things before you're ready to go.
