Following accounting, during my free period, I stopped by the home economics room again to feast myself. Wow, the food was delicious! I am glad I skipped lunch advocating recycling for SEEK.I got home from Staples tonight and immediately went to check my e-mail. Rejected. Obviously, it was a bit upsetting, but there's no point dwelling on negative points. So thinking optimistically, here are some pros: - One less college to choose from, don't have to consider the West Coast atmosphere in deciding where to go
- I'm stuck on the East Coast for college now. Less expenses for transportation. More frequent trips home to family and friends. It's easier to get stuff from home if I forget anything.
- Now I've received a rejection. I can take another one.
I accept that disappointments are a part of life. One thing about them is that they rile up your emotions inside. And it's good to feel those emotional rushes now and then because it makes you feel human. And it's almost like adrenaline because I always feel more energetic and motivated right afterward. It's like after being lectured, embarrassed, or humiliated, when you feel angry, frustrated, ashamed, fiery. I sort of like the feeling because the whole-body sensation activates and focuses your mind, and you can harness the energy to be productive. Oh, did I mention it's also a great feeling to have during the winter because it warms you up? Anyways, I know I'm still going to college, so I think I'll go play some jazz now.
