Monday supposedly signifies a good start. No matter how awful your Monday gets, you must try your very best to make it at least good, if not the best day of the week, so as not to pessimistically affect the rest of the days.
I usually struggle to make my Mondays pleasant. They may not always be the ideal start of my week, but I make it a point that there would be a reason for me to continue what this day has begun. However, this week’s Monday broke the record. Nothing had made me comfortable. It really was an effort to smile and to feel cool just to absorb positive energy, yet each event would just be worse than the previous.
I plotted three days of vacation leave, but I never thought of really getting them. Who the hell will grab the opportunity to use VL’s that were not planned wisely? I mean, if I would use three consecutive days to relax instead of going to work, I would have plotted it on either of the two ways: Monday to Wednesday, or Wednesday to Friday. Why? So as to maximize my purportedly vacation. I really played astutely when I applied for my VL’s. I blocked the whole week so I would have the luxury of choosing between the options. But unfortunately, both of my applications for Monday and for Friday failed. Yeah right! I did not want to waste my rest days, so I thought of canceling them. But since this week’s Monday demoralized me, I just decided to take these three days to relax.
As what we are accustomed to do, I, Marge and Ross settled on a booze session after work. It has already been a way for us to take a breather after getting pressured in the office. We were enjoying the moments as we take pleasure in talking with Marge’s uncle, who then came over for he would be going back to the States that night. We were making fun out of the things we see and hear, until a friend passed by. I thought it would just be a simple ‘hi’, ‘hello’, ‘goodbye’, but he actually brought news which truly pissed me off. I was already getting flustered when Boss Oruen arrived, and I thought I would end my day with so much disappointment and aggravation. I was texting somebody else when I received an SMS from my dear friend, Leah. I already knew that it was about the results of LAE. Everybody else on the table was currently engaged on a conversation so I did not bother them anymore. I covered my cellular phone’s LCD for a few seconds and bravely opened the message. I did not finish reading the whole text anymore when I saw, “Ran, congrats!.” I just caught everybody’s attention when I started screaming. Hahaha!
Yes, I passed the written examination of UP College of Law. Out of thousands of hopefuls, only 301 will be scheduled for interview. I may have outdone one phase, but there is still a much harder test for me to be a completely qualified UP Law student. Only 200 aspirants will be admitted, so 101 applicants will not make it. The competition will really be tough.
Nevertheless, my very dark Monday was brightened up by a single SMS. The beginning of my week may not be as good as I was hoping it to be, but at least I have something to hold on to now to keep me fighting.
