I need a big hug please.

[SnoopDog]

Today I got a letter from the university where I wanted to study.

They won't take me. In the recent years you always had to have a 1.4 final grade which I have exactly, this year you need a 1.2

So I'll be unemployed from October 1st and at least for half a year. This leaves me without a real plan for the future.
And what's worse I'll have another half to full year staying here with my parents and all my old problems.

I'm close to crying. Dammit.

Snoopy, worried dog

Awww...have a hug, snoop.

*HUG*

I don't understand....isn't a 1.4 better than a 1.2?

 

[Virtual_Burlesque]

I don't understand....isn't a 1.4 better than a 1.2?

My thought exactly.

In what Universe (ity) is 1.2 better than 1.4?

{{{[[[(((HUG!)))]]]}}}

*HUGS*

Wishing you the best snoop

*scratches snoopy behind his ears*

There, there... there, there...

*pat, pat*

I feel for you, I really do.

Not over here. 1.0 is our best and highest score in school, like a straight A student in America. So actually 1.2 is in fact better than 1.4. For the course (for the lack of a better word) he wants to take, he has to score a 1.2 overall in the Abitur (our highschool diploma) to even get considered of entering this course. Apparently he has missed it by .2 points. You have my sympathy.

By the way ... what is it you wanted to study? And where?

First a hug Snoop - damn your a huggy sort! There are other options though, just so you know:

Get a job for three months and work your ass off and then travel for the other three.

You must have had a career in mind - so - intern.

Go to a foreign country to study. I hear the States take everyone. (one need only look at George) if you can afford it

Think of it this way: your life was meant to go in the direction it is. ENJOY the immense experience you will have over the next year, and apply again. Check out mature student prerequisites, and don't they have college over there? If not, take a course while you are at it, something you enjoy.

Another hug, cuz damn snoop - you are huggy.

I'd like to believe we'd have stopped him at the border had he hailed from another country.

Snoop: {{{ HUGS }}}

Hugs and kisses Snoop,

I agree with Charley, why not try a university out of Germany and experience another culture?

All the best to you Hun!

[SnoopDog]

Thnx everybody this is more hugs than I expected.



But I'm still pretty down right now.

Because I wonder after 23 years on this planet when will be the very first day that something good happens to me instead of something bad.

Snoopy,

Snoopy,

This is where I come off looking like a bitch saying "you have to look, to see, Snoop."

I was referring to another planet, and you know how aliens creep into society

*hugs and kisses*

The world sucks.

 

[English Lady]

lots more hugs and kisses Snoop love. I can understand you're hurt and upset but you should listen to charleyH...you've got options...look into 'em and see what you can do to make the most of'em! Life never goes 100% to plan...but you'll find your way ok in the end. Not doing what you have your heart set on is not always the end of the world..it maybe the opening of a whole new one for you...

Snoopy,

Okay Snoopy,

I'm coming out of monastic seclusion today for a few. I was told about this thread (as well as some others) and suffering from Litdrawl I decided to stop by.

Here comes Abs being the bitch. So sit down, get those puppy ears up at attention cause I'm going to lay down some tough love.

I used to do the same thing babe, lay up all night wondering what the hell I could have done and why I was such a horrible person that my life should be so terrible? I lost countless hours of sleep until it dawned on me that my problems weren't going to change overnight so I might as well get some sleep and maybe tomorrow, things may show up in a different light.

Well I lived, I got through many things because I chose to see something good everyday, no matter how small it was, whether it was the smile on a strangers face, a hello, a sunset or a cute snoopy puppy, I saw it. I stayed that way for a long time, seeing the world through my special eyes.

This past year, I came very close to losing my mother. I spent the holidays in the hospital waiting to see if she was going to make it or not. I got through that with no problem, I was stable and strong and I had a sense of purpose.
Well I lost my job to take care of my parents and my children, I sat around feeling useless and it gave me time to think about my life. I was a failure.

I cut myself off from people and going places. I reinforced my facade and let everyone think things were okay and I almost believed it myself.

A few days ago, after months of struggling with my life it all came crashing down. I had to face some very difficult and very agonizing things. I curled into a ball and cried with an anguish I've never allowed myself to feel. They say you hit rock bottom, well I didn't just hit it, I slammed into it like someone threw me out of a plane from 10,000ft and everything that I was or thought I was became splattered on the ground for all the world to see.

Worse than that, I almost let myself give up. I sat down on the sofa hardly able to see through the tears and put a razor to my wrist, I'm not proud of my stupidity. I had to be analytical though, should I do it fast and hard, or should I concentrate to make sure I was doing it right, cause ya know, I didn't want to fail at that either. Then I realized, my son who is ten would be the one to find me and I couldn't do that to him or to my daughter, they need mom and I need them.

To wind things up, I realized I desperatly need help and to help myself. Fortunatly for me, there were a few incredible people here that didn't give up on me and have shown me my worth, are helping me to find my spirit again and taught me that I control my destiny. Life IS what you make it, it's how you choose to live your life that makes it good or bad. It's confronting the demons and taking your life back.

It's a wonderful place to be, life. We live on a beautiful planet, filled with beautiful people, surrounded by beautiful things. On a day like today especially, a day where Americans honor the memory of many who died senselessly, we realize how precious life is, so....with that being said, I bid you peace and love my friend, you are a joy to me and others, don't let the negative things cloud your vision.

Best piece of advice I've been given: Be true to yourself.

Now give me a squeeze so I can go back to my real life and move on.

I love you buddy.
Abs.

 

[CrazyyAngel]

Deleted, cause Abby is way better at bitching around and telling the right things then me .

But you still haven't told us what exactly it was you wanted to study, snoopy ... .

[Guest]

Abs, I love you. That was awesome.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Abs, I love you. That was awesome.

I love you too, but it wasn't awesome, it was the truth and I hope it makes a difference to someone.

 

[Guest]

I love you too, but it wasn't awesome, it was the truth and I hope it makes a difference to someone.

It was a very selfless thing for you to do, babe, and in that it was awesome to me. You do make a difference, every day of your life. You have little idea how much you brighten people's lives, mine included.

 

[CrazyyAngel]

I love you too, but it wasn't awesome, it was the truth and I hope it makes a difference to someone.

Yeah it is the truth. A couple of weeks ago I might have written the same complaints like snoopy, but I kind of came to the same conclusion you came to ... life is what you make it. I haven't changed my life dramatically, but started with small steps and now I see a light at the end of the tunnel.

P.S: And on a side note ... I am now officially an Literotica Guru .

Let's just run off and get married already...LOL.
I'd like to think that I do.
I'm even prepared to go out on a limb and admit I have a big heart too.
that was only slightly painful, but it's public now, so I can't take it back.
