All done?
I'm writing from a pedestal of accomplishment in my life. I'm writing from a blissful yet bitter-sweet point in my life. I'm writing as a high school graduate.
Today, I took my last A-level exam, Chemistry Unit 6. It went well, but there's some debate over the [mathematical] answer to the calculation in the first question. I'm pretty sure I'm right, but even if I get the final answer wrong, I won't lose a lot of marks for it because I did most of the steps correctly.
Anyways, I'm done with high school/sixth form/college. On to university? We shall see. For now, I need a job and one that's close to home. I've been sending out my résumé online to companies whose ads look interesting. Today I gave a hard copy to a food outlet called 'Seasons' at the food court in the Mall of the Emirates.
Life's still the same. I don't feel the euphoria I felt when I had my first kiss or when I received an offer from Newcastle University's medical school, for example. There's that sense of happiness at the back of my head, but no sense of accomplishment. I guess I won't feel truly happy or accomplished until I see the results of these exams.
"Chaltee, chalee jaye, zindagi ki dagar.. kabhi khatm na ho yeh safar.."
"It keeps on going, the path of life.. this journey never ends.."
