Karma

How can I not have a secreted belief in Karma? A nebulous concept, I cruise through life, afloat on a stream of many currents. I enjoy the ride and conserve my energy, looking ahead from time to time inorder to paddle furiously when my path strays down the way least desired.

A month or two ago all my bad luck came at once. Now I am riding high. It appears I arrested my slide into academic failure just in time. I decided not to spend $100 on new shoes, turned down another $100 for Aus v Greece tickets in Melbourne. And now that money will help fund the trip of a life time, our tickets are paid and receipted! Mum was trying to frustrate my efforts when she realised I might miss exams. I gambled and it paid off it seems. Exam timetable was released late this afternoon and my final exam ends at 11.30am Thursday 15th June, 3 days before Australia kicks off against Brazil in Munich on Sunday!

Imagine if I had have got tickets in the first round? I was considering dropping Uni this semester to save, but now it looks like I will pull off both goals!

Maybe it's not karma or fate. Maybe I'm just exceptional at finding the silver lining, preparing myself for all eventualities, and ready to bear the brunt of my mistakes on the chest and stay upbeat.

Yesterday after hearing the news all I could do was think of all the planning aspects. Now that the tickets are confirmed, my timetable is set - I know what lies before me and can finally get excited! And I am - very - excited now! I sure hope it is a perfect trip. For that I will have to work non-stop until departure, and study with every spare minute to make sure I nail those exams, cause there won't be any Sups to sit in Germany.
