Bad News that always accompanies Good News

Sunday, June 25, 2006

Some good news in the education sector lately. I did get an "A" in my Chemistry lecture class. Also, I received a letter saying I made the Dean's List last semester (well, not really much "news" in that but is a positive).

I am still waiting on my Chemistry lab grade. This is the one I am worried about. If I get an "A" it will be by the skin of my teeth. But, I won't turn it down because I would hate for this one little class to ruin my 4.0 GPA.

But, why is there always bad things that come with the good things? Is it that the fates think everything has to have some sort of balance? Is life a series of two steps forward and three steps back?

One bad thing is that I am going to need a new tire for my car. It has a slow leak and I've been putting it off by filling it with air every other day. I've never had any luck with asking if a tire can just be repaired. I am not sure if I am always being told the truth or seem like a sucker for a sale. Anyway, this is not an expense I was planning on at this time.

Another bad thing has more to do with not getting something I really wanted. That sounds like I am two years old, huh? But, there was something I wanted badly and through a misunderstanding (a small part) and my own stupid actions (a huge part), it will not be. It makes me sad, frustrated, and wanting to kick myself. I try to be a relatively happy person, so I don't like the sad part. But, the frustration and "kicking myself" might just be what I need to learn something from the whole scenario.
