Subject: Life goes on......

Singing aloud "Life goes on" in my car when retrospectively thinking what's going on since last morning -

"Yesterday, I realized that my transcript from London never got reached to the States (for my internship application). Calm and no panic, I decided to call the registry in London despite the time difference. Working very hard on cover letters til late night (I have to get 11 decent letters out by Nov 1st).

Up til 12am, I was tired but, determined enough that I have to make the phone call at 2am, I drank a milk tea. Continued to work on presentation and reading until 2am. Made a phone call and was asked to make arrangement with courier. Okay! I called DHL, only received UK-registered credit card. I called UPS and made an arrangement finally at 3:15am.

Woke up at 7a hoping to receive a confirmation email from London on the pickup. Disappointed. No pickup. People in London also informed me that they will not fill the credit card information for me which is required by the UPS pickup. Started to get frustrated, I called UPS again and set up my UPS account. Failed at 9a without reason. My emotional balloon exploded. I just needed to punch someone.....

Pulled myself together and called Fedex (O boy!). Finally speaking with a nice lady who let me know one more bad news - all the couriers cannot do PO Box destination. Now, Fedex has arranged a pickup and hopefully I will receive the transcript by Friday the latest. THEN I will mail express to the PO BOX destination. To be continued......"

Continue singing and driving in a gloomy day, a perfect match for today. Keep telling/forcing myself to think that the world is bigger than how I actually feel at the moment (my world is only as big as a transcript). Got back to work and realized the meeting was canceled. All I can do is to laugh and sing "life goes on".......This is a day that I can just laugh about it.
