Pumped, Weirded out, Crushed and Crushed again.

Hey all, how are you doing? Hope you are well and I'm pretty sure you're not doing as bad as I am right now. Like the title reads, today, I had a blast of multiple emotions, both good and bad. It was a roller coaster to be honest and it does not even involve something so lovey or heartbreaking or eewy or what ever. It is just a normal day with some messed up moments.

To get to the juicy bits of the story, one must start at the beginning. So today starts as a normal day, woke up pretty late, 20 minutes before class to be exact, took a shower, drank some coffee and I walked my tiny ass to class. There I was, in class, having the biggest eye bags one could have, stoning. Then Rui Wei walks in. As he was sitting down, I noticed something different about him, he had a hair cut. That thought was the beginning of the weirdest day of this semester, well the night I met the two Korean girls would still be at the top but this one is a close second.

The hair cut. Just a simple action but with dire consequences depending on the person. For me, it is a big deal. Yes, I care about my hair and how it looks, even if the rest of me isn't up to the satisfactory level. My hair was long and I had planned to grow but have failed to follow the plan countless of times due to different reasons. So I thought to myself, should I go for it? My hair have been quite troublesome lately so I just thought "What the heck, lets do it.".

To the hair salon I went. I decided to go to a korean hair salon which needs booking before hand so I had to go back to my apartment and find the number. Luckily, there was an opening an hour after I reach home so I went for it. With me being all pumped up, I walked to the place thinking it was going to be a good decision but I guess my luck wasn't that good because it rained half way through my journey. To my amazement, the sky cleared up right after I set foot into the salon. So okay, I'm in the salon thinking of what to say to the hair dresser once its my turn when I had the weirdest thought, "Lets just shave one side of the head and leave the rest long!" said my brain.

What did I do? I followed subtly because that is my brain and I have to follow what my brain says. Even with the weird decision, I have to say that it looks kinda good. Still kinda weirded out but I'll manage. Now that the weirded out part is done, lets get to the crushed part of the story.

So I went back home and cooked some dinner, nothing major there. After dinner though, I got an e-mail from my Gastronomy lecturer regarding my first assessment. I have to admit that I  thought I did a good job with the assessment and was going to get at least a credit, if not, distinction. Boy was I wrong, so wrong. I only got a measly pass. There goes my self confidence. But that's not all, she even wrote some comments that kinda hurt my feelings a little bit. I know I should take it as guidance and not take it to heart but words hurt. To my amazement, I wasn't the only one who got this low ass mark. The rest of my housemates got pass as well and we had a long talk about how bummed we were.

Now, I'm in my room, writing this post to release some pain off my chest. I seriously thought that this subject was 'my' subject. I felt like everything connected when I'm studying this subject. Guess I'm not doing it right. Crushed as hell now and I just realized that I have two more assessments for this class. The next one is a whopping 50% of the total subject. With all this negativity, I doubt I'll pass this subject. Sigh.


ps. I'm not even sorry for this long post. If its too long for you then just don't read it.
