I didn't think I would ever be in this thread, but I guess today is an exception. I did a horrible job at work today and I didn't mean to drop the workload on you. I know you get crap for this kind of thing all the time and I wish I didn't have to do that to you. I know how frustrated you were when you heard what was going on. I really wanted to make it work but unfortunately I didn't have the skills to follow through. I'm terribly sorry to have done that to you. When I saw your face my face sank so low. I'm sorry TT^TT

I am trying to think positively and not be too sad that I didn't win, but for this moment it feels like my dream has gotten farther away from me. All week long I have been checking my email to find out if I made it to the semi-finals of two grants I applied for. The Henry Luce and the Fulbright ETA grant. Yesterday I checked my mail and there was a letter from Henry Luce aka Rejection #1. I held strong hoping that I would make it to the Fulbright semi-finals. I kept checking my email. This morning I woke up, got on the computer and there was the email I had been waiting all week for. I was scared, but I clicked on it and Rejection#2. That hit me like a kick to the gut because I really really wanted to be a part of the program and use it to go to South Korea.

I didn't even get a chance to react because I had to go to class, so I put on a smile like everything was okay, like I was okay and I went to class. I came back and read it again hoping it was a mistake or they'd sent this Rejection to the wrong person. Nope, the rejection was meant for me. I haven't cried, right now I just feel kind of blank and numb. My friends want to gather around me, but when things like this happen I just want to be alone, need to be alone. I don't want them to see me as a mess, which I will be by the end of the day. It just hurts because I worked so hard on my application, I had so many people supporting me and rooting for me and now I have to tell them over and over I didn't make it and feel all that sympathy.

For now I just want to curl up in a ball, put on the headphones, and let the music be my antidote. I told myself I'd give myself only today to feel sad and mad because life goes on and tomorrow I need to wake up and work on Plan B. So for today I am going to wallow in self-pity, eat my favorite foods, cry like a baby, and just let it all sink in.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be a little better, not so numb, and not so sad.

Feeling a bit sad. Tell me a joke.

[HERMIT]

Feeling a bit sad. Tell me a joke.

Here's a few:

One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, he didn't buy her a gift.

When his wife asked him why, he replied, "Well, she still hasn't used the gift I bought her last year!"

And that's how the fight started.....

--------------------------

My wife walked into the den & asked "What's on the TV?"

I replied "Dust".

And that's how the fight started.....

--------------------------

A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.

She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'

The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'

And that's how the fight started.....

--------------------------

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 200 in about 3 seconds.

I bought her a scale.

And that's how the fight started.....

--------------------------

I asked my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?'

It warmed my heart to see her face melt in sweet appreciation.

'Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!' she said.

So I suggested, 'How about the kitchen?'

And that's when the fight started....

--------------------------

My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have sex?'

'No,' she answered.

I then said, 'Is that your final answer?'

She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying 'Yes.'

So I said, 'Then I'd like to phone a friend.'

And that's when the fight started....

--------------------------

I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller Light for $14.95.

Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for $7.95. I told her the beer would make her look better at night than the cold cream.

And that's when the fight started.....

--------------------------

I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.

'I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.'

He said, 'Aren't you worried about the mad cow?'

'Nah, she can order for herself.'

And that's when the fight started.....

i've been looking for this.

1. ) i'm sick. i think i have the flu... and i already canceled twice on this guy i'm dating the past month. i only see him on the wknds cause i go college out of city. and now he's probably going to think that i'm doing this on purpose.
2.) i already missed basic skills 1 class 3 times... and it's only like the 3rd week of school. And she gives us 4 absenses then she takes off 2 points off our final grade each time we miss.
3.) this is the second time i've gotten sick this year... and it's only january.
4.) i have 2 months to prepare for a violin recital.. and my teacher still doesn't know what she wants to teach me yet.
5.) i'm having cold chills, fever, body aches, and hacking cough.. and sometimes mixed with a little blood. i cannot go doctors because i don't have health insurance... haven't had it for so long because my family is not so financially stable..
6.) the only good thing is i have a incredible mom who made me jjuk this morning and ginger tea before she went to work. and i will get over this damn pathetic flu that has made me cancel all my weekend plans.

woo-sah..... felt so good to vent.

[turquoise_and_takoyaki]

OMG I am so annoyed, I can't sleep at all! I tried tossing and turning and it's already 5.52 am, thankfully I have no work tomorrow or else that would be screwed. But I am going to see a movie with my friends ( seven pounds) ahhh I might go to sleep in the theatre hahaha. How cruel movies are so expensive here, I need my beauty sleep.....hmm it's probably from the green tea that I drank earlier, stupid caffeine.

[princesspoppy]

LOL. Thanks HERMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr Boo Boo]

LOL. Thanks HERMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[princesspoppy]

I am stressed, worried, and horny. Not a great combination.

[MyNameIs_Luka]

My family got evicted...I just want to crash a mini cooper into my relatives house and see how they like it!!! John Tesh lying bastards....

[cHenz--]

So my life does not have any purpose.. SO WHAT? Like it's any of your business

[tlydia]

I rant/vent too much. I need to stop venting.

[Prot]

I forget sometimes that there really are all kinds of people that you've never expected to exist that really contradict rationale.

[Mr Boo Boo]

how fracking DARE you for putting the blame on me for NOT knowing that the reason why the DSL went down b.c NO ONE AT THE MAIN OFFICE DIDNT PAY THE BILL!!! my job is not to be your little pinkberry and DO YOUR DAMN JOB....how about you get off your fat black ass and DO SOME ACTUAL WORK instead of putting the blame on people. I can not wait to get the frack out of here and into a better project

[huyen2501]

so i was zoned to sales yesterday but my manager asked me to take one of the last sits. of course it had to be the psycho children! i'm talking about bouncing-off-the-walls C R A Z Y! i love how my manager came to help me half an hour into the sit and i could've called it by then! when he came in to entertain them, the mom goes 'ohhhh, they LOVE men!' WTF. you could've mentioned that earlier.... the candy bribing was obviously not working since they eventually ate the whole box without taking a single decent picture. lol this lady had absolutely NO CONTROL and NO RESPECT from her children. it annoys me when i see nightmare children with passive parents. i mean one kid was throwing the ball at the computer and the other was stealing stickers from behind the register. what does mom do? nothing! yea, we were all pretty pissed about leaving at 8 instead of 6....with a HUGE headache.

oh and i really don't want to go to school today. i haven't finished reading chapter 4 and we have another freaking quiz....

[Midnight Dreams]

i am so sick of my parents always yelling at me. ever since i was little, they keep on yelling. now, i am in college, they yell. if i don't do what they tell me to do, i will never heard the end of it. >__>

i waited 9 years for my damn parents to stop yelling and criticizing me. enough is enough. i am going to cut them out of my life. my sibling and i have told them how we felt and we do we get, they start yelling at us. i don't need anymore stress. i don't need to feel bad about myself. i don't need to get depress everyday. i have never been happy.

[thermopyle]

F*ck jury duty. Really. Yeah yeah, it's my civic duty, I get that. But don't waste my goddamn time. They have all their jurors and replacements then excuse one juror and 15+ other people have to come back the next day. I'm missing classes I need to go to just to waste another day in court. *sigh*

[questions987]

^^ and I begged to be put on a jury but they refused me because I'm pre-law and related to cops. Oh the irony

[rigashi]

how the crap am i supposed to go to classes if the lazy a** parking attendant never takes off the "LOT FULL" sign after the afternoon rush?! i can't get into the freaking parking lot, and it's 6.00pm! and i'm not about to park on the street, in the middle of downtown, when classes end at 10.00pm. so now i'm skipping classes, wasting gas driving around in circles, and wasting all the money i'm paying for tuition. I HATE OHIO I HATE OHIO I HATE OHIO.

this wouldn't have been so bad if my day didn't start at 6.00am. but it does start at 6.00am, and i'm freaking grumpy.

[HERMIT]

^^ and I begged to be put on a jury but they refused me because I'm pre-law and related to cops. Oh the irony

I once begged to be on a jury too but the judge yelled at me and had the bailiff keep me restrained in the defendant's chair.
