I Failed

Wish I could take it back to the beginnin'
I coulda bought a place in DUMBO before it was DUMBO
For like 2 million
That same building today is worth 25 million
Guess how I'm feelin'? Dumbo

Jay-Z, 'Story of OJ'

I feel desperate and disappointed. It feels so bitter.


I had an exam today, a coding exam. I coded the exam tasks, saved the file, but forgot to submit it on time. I worked on the details too much and didn't make it in time.


I can't stop thinking about it. I feel so bad. I did everything properly except manage the time. It feels mind-breaking. I can't.


On the semester, for my Korean Writing class, I got a very high score on my final essay. But I forgot to submit the midterm exam on time and got a low final grade. Guess how I'm feeling? I feel so bitter. I cannot believe it.


This is bullshit. Everything I have done throughout the semester might have been nothing. I feel unbearable frustration. I am fuming.
