its been awhile

a year has passed since it all ended, and started. Remember the feeling of relief? I won't say liberation cos it wasn't that dramatic, nor will I use freedom or whatever. It was relief at the conclusion of a long drawn out struggle against the odds, academic or otherwise. There was something special within it all, something that couldn't be defeated by the fact that army loomed a mere two months away. It was like running a race that threatened to beat you instead of the other way round. You had to dig in for the long run - pun intended - and fight. perseverance always wins in the end, take note people. But take note, its not the only thing you have to do. You can be thwarted by circumstances beyond your control and events you never anticipated. You may be dealt a cruel hand repeatedly and have your hands tied. It could well end up the exact opposite of how you intended and that's when you go "It wasn't supposed to end this way". Well too bad. suck thumb. you may win the battle but not the war. they say all's fair, but in the end it still leaves you sore
