Denial of hardship

One would think that being happy is about doing what you want. In a sense, this is true. However, the real obstacle is... doing what you want. It's not always so easy to get what you wish for.
My current goal is to get happy and remain that way, as long as it doesn't mean blatantly lying to myself.

Good things that have happened today:
1. Talked a lot with Kelly about our relations. It's apparent that we won't be together again any time near, if at all. However, it's still good, because she isn't going anywhere. She still plans to remain my friend and that's what matters more.

2. Got the necessary signatures for my research application. At first one of the teachers was hesitant to sign, as it puts more responsibility on her. However, when I described the fucked up state the the education system is in and that I plan to research alternative ways to teach, then she liked the idea. The look on her face pretty much said: "I want to be a part of this!"

3. I redid the chemistry test, just as the whole class did. Unlike the previous time, I was able to finish it in time and knew pretty much all the answers straight away. This certainly looks like I'll get a good grade and don't have to worry about chemistry for now.


(4). Yesterday I wrote a small text called "Children of the wild". At first I tried to use the snowflake method, but inspiration or something similar carried me away.
However, I still am happy about it, because it was the first time that I was able to write anything considerable without being high on inspiration.

Denial of hardship makes for a strong contestant.
