Bitter - Sweet Day
September 21, 2007 – 11:37 am
Today is a weird day. Not in a weirdly weird way, but more like weirdly confusing sense. I never felt a myriad of emotions for a long time. Usually, I’m either just happy, or sad, or bored, or sleepy, or angry.
First to the bad stuff. I might have mentioned that my brother was away for almost 4 months because he was reviewing for the electrical engineering board examinations. The exams was last weekend, and the results just came in this morning. He did not pass.
Deep down inside, I somehow knew that this would happen. I always have this sixth sense about things, you know like precognition. And I felt days ago that things would turn out bad for my brother. I feel for him because I knew that he really studied hard and dedicated himself to this.
On a happier note, I got some good news for myself. I took an ATO (Air Transportation Office) Air Traffic Control Exam a couple of weeks ago. And I passed. Not only did I pass, I topped the exam. Isn’t that weird? I did not expect it to be since I didn’t finish the exam and just guessed more than 50 items.
Considering the possibility that I might pass the medical exam and interview at ATO and start training in October 16, my plans are quite in awry right now. I welcome the change and the new challenge. But I’m also kind of hesitant.
So now I feel sad but somewhat happy and a little bit excited and more than confused. Does that make sense?
