Donkey and the Carrot(s)

Ok, let me first of all accept that the title of this blog has been flicked from here, blogged by my good friend (senior) Manas. So, even though I have finished my General GRE test, theres always the next carrot awaiting.

Registered for TOEFL on Oct 21, and GRE Subjective on Nov 3. Had a nice conversation with HT Maam. So I am all set up for applying to the top US Universities.

I was really touched by a mention of the 5 stages of grief in House MD, Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy, some of the TV Series I have been whiling my time :
The stages are:

1. Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening." (It can't be true)
   
2. Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or anybody perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
3. Bargaining: "Just let me live to see my son graduate." (Let me have one last talk)
   
4. Depression: "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"
5. Acceptance: "It's going to be OK."
   

I am glad that I have reached the acceptance stage finally.
