I hate it when I'm discouraged. 

Amidst the good things that could be happening in my life, when ONE thing occurs that turns my life around in a different way than I had expected, I simply feel like giving up.

Well, let me start from the beginning. I wanted to get a particular placement for a job next year (so it can jump-start my so-called ''career'' -- yaay to adulthood!) but the decision of taking a semester off has sort of scarred this particular process as I am not in the city at the moment. I had called the person to talk about the situation and my return to the city, but all I could hear was the voice of ''sorry...if only you had stayed"  ...Really man?...
