What Does Life Give?

This last 3 days have been relatively relaxed until I realized the huge amount of work I have due next week. Today was a really stressful day as work was crazy (trying to help a multitude of demanding students and answering phones for 2 hours straight), I had to file my taxes, I realized that I have 3 papers due next week and also a presentation in class on Monday, I owe the state $300 in taxes, and last but not least, being told that I was on a wait-list for offers by UWash - Seattle. Fuck it! It's only 2 more days till the 15th and so an offer from them now is pretty impossible.

That's when I realized that I was 'dyslexic' to life! I felt like it was giving me melons instead of lemons and that's why I was so stressed out. I failed to see the brighter side of things and so let the crushing weight of uncertainty and pressure affect me. What I failed to see was that UWash probably did me a favor by solidifying my decision on going to Columbia in NYC; that helping the bunch of bitchy demanding students built my patience; that I actually have 5 more days to pace myself out and complete the papers with relative ease; and that I should learn to budget more for unseen expenses like the taxes I owe. I guess now that my 'dyslexia' has been cured, it doesn't seem too bad after all. Looks like I'll be having a huge pitcher of melon-ade later!

Oh, and random tip of the day from my friend Katrina, the crazy girl:

"Recommendation, do not eat a cinnamon roll and try to play family feud on the computer, my keys are covered in cinnamon and frosting!"

I guess that's all for now. Till the next one!

XOXO,
