Disappointments

the holidays are coming to an end...
dealt with several disappointments these few months.
first of all, applications for internships at Sumitomo Corp, Fuji Xerox and Yusen all came to nothing.
then, failed to pull through to the finals for the Japanese Speech Contest, only made it to the semis.
next, flopped at an interview for a part-time admin job at a Japanese company.
most deadly, lost the chance to go to Japan this year when the Monbukagakusho Japanese scholarship slipped through my hands.

Sigh. judging by the turnouts above, getting an A for Japanese in school is just not enough. i need to leap by bounds.

learning to take failures and rejections as part of life.
believe that whenever one door closes on me, another will open.

the part of me which yearns so much to leave is weeping for the chance has gone.
