A Day Of Reckoning

Sighz...

This past week seems to have been a rollercoaster of emotions. Started with anxiety about taking on a tuition job, followed by elation after having survived the first session; Now at the end of the week, I've experienced sadness and anger at some incessant teasing, and today... Today was a total tragedy.

I finally told my mum that I need to repeat one more semester. She's not very happy about it, as is expected. It was touch and go for a while in the car. She nagging (most prob due to extreme shock and disbelief) and me snapping back that I've already thought about everything she was nagging about. She was upset about me failing and I was upset about her not understanding how upset I was already about my failing. In the end we reached a truce of sorts. She concluded that a whole string of very unfortunate circumstances lead to my downfall and I agreed that I would take on no more responsibilities in hall, and think about going overseas to do a Masters or a second degree.

*bitter laugh*

What a week.
