You know how some people always like to break the news to you by saying something like "Well, you're gonna know it anyway, sooner or later."
Most people would reply, "Well then, I choose later."
But NOT me.
I choose the other option: Sooner.
Reason? Simply because I'm a Virgo.
As a typical Virgo, I prefer to be hit with the unexpected news sooner. If it's good news, well, all the more time I have to rejoice right?
But what if it's bad news?
The rationale would be that I'd be more prepared to deal with the messy situation. It buys me more time, psychologically, mentally (whatever-lly there is in the world) for me to deal with it. You know, like getting the grasp of the situation, look around, come up with options, think through the options that I've come up with, discuss with friends (a very very important step to me) and finally, make the decision.
It doesn't stop there. No sir, it doesn't.
After making the decision, there comes the worrying stage where you worry if it'll come around as "ok", if it makes sense. If it's 10000% dummy proof. Then what about Plan B, C or Z? There's also the emotional turmoil one has to experience (ok, maybe that's just me) during the wait for the ending result. Even though I know that everything will be alright in the end... The worrying never EVER stops!
These processes may come to be salient for most people. But for me, it's a linear process. It has stages that I follow. A step-by-step like procedure and experiences that I have to go through. So that is why I need lots and lots of time to accept the sudden situation, think through it, adapt to it then finally solve it.
But most importantly. I hate the fact that after I've made the perfect decision, execute it and thought that most of the messy stuffs is cleared....
A bomb drops from the sky.
Poof!
And the worst thing is... It could have been avoided by sending the bloody email 24 hours earlier!!!
WHY DO YOU SEND SUCH AN IMPORTANT EMAIL AFTER THE EVENT? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
And that is why....
I can't wait to get out of the school, start working, start earning money, and last but not least, earn my through the system so that I can start screwing other people's life.
Peace out
