Is this a sign?

Yesterday, on my way out from school, I walked past one of the vice-principals and then something hit me. I felt like I needed to do something, and it involved a VP. Then, it hit me... A CAMERA!
That same morning, I was supposed to have gone and got this sheet signed by a VP and the head of department, but I had completely forgot!

So it began... The time was 16:10pm, and at around 16:20pm or so, the media tech guys with the camera's would start packing up to go. I had 10 minutes to secure two signatures and prevent a possible repeat of our camera problem last week (See my post 'Disaster'). I pulled the sheet from my schoolbag and quickly filled in the neccesary things like my name, card number etc. Then, I almost thrusted the sheet into my VP's face, which he somewhat annoyingly signed. Time check: 16:15pm. I had spent too long writing on the damn sheet and had to move on fast. Racing to the English Literacy and Language department, I searched room-to-room in an attempt to find the head of Media, Mr. Seston, but it was too no prevail. The only teacher I could find was Mr. Wilson, who was working away feverishly on his laptop. Now, I know Mr. Wilson was (I don't know if he still is) a Media teacher last year, and he is the the second-in-command of the department, so I decided to risk it and ask him to sign. Both signatures taken care of, I rushed back across the school to get to the Media tech room. Time check: 16:18pm. I had to hurry.

Flying through the door, I caught the tech man just as he was preparing to leave. Handing him my sheet, he happily accepted both signatures and got my camera and tripod ready. But my question is this... Is this entire event a sign? This almost disastrous forgetting of the camera could be some eery foreshadowing of how today's event turn out. Will they be disastrous like last week, or will they be succesful so we can begin our editing? And now, as I sit here typing this post literally about 20 minutes or so before I leave to pick up Dan and one of our actors, I can only think about one phrase concerning today, one phrase that no matter what obstacles get in our way of filming, this will stay in my head. And what is it this phrase that i'm thinking?

Bring it on...
