So. My friends and I have reached a milestone in our life this past week. There's been a lot of pain, and (to my immense frustration) a lot of hypocritical, fake sympathy towards those that are less than happy. I'm not going to be that guy, who chides everyone else to hush-hush while flaunting his own (no doubt well-deserved) accomplishments. Either revel in the good luck and be man enough to do it with all your heart, or say nothing at all.
Since this is my own personal blog, one that the rare stranger stumbling across the blogosphere will read or the close friend will semi-follow, I have no inhibitions about sharing my joy here. If that'll frustrate anyone, I'm sorry. I think I'm allowed to celebrate the stroke of good luck that's been withheld from me for so long. At least know that I'm doing it here and not in public, in front of everyone. There's no need to keep reading.
A lifetime of hard work has paid off. The unfortunate events have not withheld me from the next and hopefully greatest four years of my life. And now, this quarter, I can finally relax. Have a life. Do so many things I've wanted to but haven't had time for. But the biggest joy is the absence of having to wonder if I'll be okay for the next four years. Honestly, I thought my heart was going to explode when I saw the bulldog greeting me and the sounds of many tenors singing, "Bulldogs bulldogs..." And to go from that to the plain, monochromatic silhouette of a tiger with the word "Congratulations"... I don't think I could have been happier.
Here's to a new beginning.
