African Students Forum

have you ever had a day where you you thought you had everything under control but it just seems all wrong? i know, we all have. but just fortunate i have the african student forum to keep keep me from thinking of what a day i had.

I had such a day just two moons ago...

Only I had to struggle for control the entire time.

It all began with the arrival of some 'supposed' good news that rubbed me the exact opposite way.
"Congratulations you have been accepted in the Masters' program at ...." and that was were the good news ended. No financial aid for the unendowed African student so I chucked it along with my growing pile of pseudo-admission letters.

Then my day began in earnest with a very irritating email from a co-worker. And it all went downhill from there with my direct supervisor and then my manager getting all involved in the issue. My stress level was rising above the roof at this point.

I kept trying to keep my thoughts positive and all the balls in the air. I happen to believe that thoughts do have the ability to create one's reality. Anyways, my day eventually ended with my head 'un-exploded' and I headed home grateful to not have lost it one way or another. As fate would have it my bad day was not over, suffice it to say that the traffic situation and driving antics in my city are as bad as in any other.

So that was how my bad day went...luckily it did not extend into my subsequent days and the weekend got here in good time!!! Hurray!!!
