Blessed in the End

I AM SO FRIGGIN HAPPY!!!

My mood today fluctuated like TASR (NasdaqNM:TASR). It all started when I was reading the SFU Course Timetable newsletter during lunch in the office when my heart froze upon reading the PREREQUISITE(S) under the 300-level Business courses.

60 Credit Hours... I checked my go.sfu.ca account and to my anticipation... I was correct... My status: 56 Credit Hours.

I was so flustered at the office because I felt like I needed to die. HOW could I overlook this matter? My academic planning was VERY SOLID, believe it or not. When preparing for courses, I compose at least 3 backup plans. Nevertheless, this was one hell of a surprise... I'm sure even Cao Cao would be astonished if such a surprise attack such as this hit him as well.

It felt good talking to James and Angela because they both showed their support for me. I felt a bit better and decided to tell my parents about the situation. The small bit of happiness in me was plundered by my parents as they were VERY upset with my current performance. My morale dropped to a negative digit after the phone call, and I have to say that the subway ride home from Central to Fortress Hill was the worst subway ride I have ever had in my life.

I promised my uncle that I would cook for them tonight, and so I left work on time and went home. Anthony helped out, which was good. We ended up making a bunch of random dishes. Nothing really fancy, as I was not really in the mood anyways.

To sum up, I stayed up until now and called the Undergraduate Advisor at SFU. She told me that I had nothing to worry about and that the credits I have in the fall can be added to my total credits. In this situation, I will have a total amount of 68. So I really had nothing to worry about.

Life has many surprises, therefore we should try to prepare for them even when we least expect it. I was stupid today. I should have known that with every problem comes a solution. I've certainly learned my lesson today, and for the future, I can assure you all that it will NEVER happen again.

Still made with T. L. C., Ma!
