Turning a corner?

I think i'm feeling better now. Ignore my last post. I was a little drunk after having too much fun with my friend Mr Absolut. Right now, i feel almost fine, except that i had a real shit day at work. I know better now. I will try not to be in the office from around 1630 onwards. That way, nobody can throw extra work for me to do, thereby allowing me to leave camp at about 1700 sharp. I feel like a Bengali busboy who has been working for the whole dinner service and yet gets shouted at by the maitre'd and the chef, after which, he is tasked to clear the grease traps, take out the trash and wash up after the drunk bartender just for that bit of extra cash to send to his family back home. Only difference between him and me is that he's getting OT pay. I'm not. Try living on a measly $660 a month and still having to work dog hours and stuff. If i have to do an officer's job, you had better pay me the respect and pay of an officer. If not, you can piss off and do the stuff on your own. I've had it with people messing up my plans. For god's sake! I wanted to go out to town to meet some secondary school friends and i had to cancel everything last minute. Enough is enough, i'm putting my foot down!

Anyway, i would like to thank some people. When i was at my lowest, you guys (and gal) were there to help me up again. Ben, i've known u since primary school. Thank god you were there to help me out. Tiff, thanks alot. What u said really helped me realise that i had friends on which i can count on and rely on when i needed it most. For that, i'm deeply grateful. I think i've turned a corner. I've learnt to let go somewhat, but certain things are too precious to me for me to just let them go so easily. If its anything to go by, i've decided to pursue my dreams. if i can't do it locally, i'm determined to do it else where. Currently looking at pre-med courses in american universities. There is a chance i may go there to study. Boston College, get ready for an invasion!!
