I finished taking all of my final exams last night, and I'm pleased to inform you that I've passed the first semester of classes. While I could've done a little better than I had hoped, I've still passed, and that's all that matters. This gives me new hope for the next semester, as I will have 18 credits of classes this time. I like taking on challenges, as long as they're reasonable. With the new schedule in place, I'm sure that this time around, I can make the Dean's List, something I couldn't quite achieve in the semester that just ended. I'm now in the process of finding a new job, and I only have four weeks to get that done. Meanwhile, I'm also going through the five stages of denial: First comes denial, then comes anger, followed by bargaining, grieving, and finally, acceptance. Last week, I was in denial of so many things; for example, I used to think that everyone in high school liked me, because after all, I was voted Most Popular, but now I don't think so anymore, since I now know the ugly truth. I was also in denial of having any relationship, and I repeatedly said things like "I don't have any time for one right now" and "I'll make my move when the time is right." This time, I'm in the anger stage, as I've fired off an unfriendly message on Facebook that had nothing to do with the high school friends I've acquired on the site. Speaking of which, I received an interesting message from a college friend who said that she was thinking of killing herself, but didn't because of the terrible consequences it would bring. At first, I thought it was a joke, given that I saw her being happy all the time, but I'm learning from her experience. Also, another friend from college told me to enjoy my life, and he also warned me that I would never make it to heaven if I killed myself. I've defended my deathwatch with the reason that I never thought of killing myself, but just knew that I was going to die soon. They said that no one can put a timeline on their lives, because they don't know when their time will come. Next week, I'll plan to do some bargaining. Right now, I'm busy doing my job search, and I'll keep you informed on that as well.
