God's test to my discipline is over. I've managed to bag a Distinction grade and it's good to know that the events that I've sacrificed attending, and plowing through the material with sheer force and determination amounted to something in return.
Now for a quick update, I'm barely keeping my head above the water, bouncing back from being free of disappointments and jokes; and maybe buried under a landslide of regrets from personal pride issues, lack of hindsight and bad decisions.
I need to get my shit together though I honestly want nothing more than to curl up into a ball in a corner and just start bawling my eyes out. But hopefully, this is just a phase of unrest and instability that will pass by. Even if all that I can do now is keep my head low and endure the storm, as long as I don't stop and ask for where the rope is, I'll cross my fingers and pray that I'll reach the light at the end of the tunnel.
