Classes in that fall quarter was not a particularly welcome sight after the near exhaustion level of the summer quarter, but I had a lot to look for, since I will be interviewing for a new co-op position to start the following quarter, and would determine the where I will be on co-op for the final three co-op quarters.
However, several classmates were beginning to test my patience again, and especially one of those classmates, Cardozo, was getting on my nerves, but Gretchen was almost a non-existent sight during that quarter, even though I did see her around campus perhaps two or three times in the quarter. I was guessing that she may have switched from full-time to part-time.
Anyway, a few days before a number of events happened, Cardozo really got on my freaking nerves, and I was pretty much had a level of hate against Cardozo, which was at a level of bloody hate. I really wanted to smash his brains in. Not only that, but I felt that I was a target of a conspiracy by several classmates, which included Cardozo, Jackson and Selma. Not only that, I had some distrust in them and some of those that associate with them. Just two days before that string of events happened, there was a quiz, I was not pleased by the freaking timing of that quiz at all! In fact, I did not want to see the quiz results the next class, which would have met on the first day of the string of events, not to mention that I had not relished one of the events in almost four years. And the fact that I wanted to hide my intentions from everybody else, so I did not attend that class the next time it met.
One of the silver linings of this quarter was that I had an interview with a company that I had to pass up last quarter which was very close to me. In fact, there were two interviews in that company. Not to mention that a string of events would slightly change the atmosphere of that quarter just a bit.
On the first day of that string of events, I decided to lay back a bit, and skipped one class that day, lest that anyone wanted to ruin my day. That day ended up to be very uneventful, to my delight, so I could indulge on a major event that following day. A day that I had been looking forward for almost four years. In fact, that day was one of the best days that quarter I had and this event really got me going, as it was the first time in about four years I had relished an event like that. The following night was even better, since it was a repeat of the event which happened almost four years ago which was the primary reason for me to savor that second day of the string of events.
However, the kicker to this string of events was that the first day of classes after the string of events. The day was very uneventful, until apparently someone had leaked or somehow gained some information about something significant to me. In fact, on one of the classes, everything was normal until the leak was revealed. Then a celebration of sorts happened, for something that actually happened four days before. This somehow extinguished my fire against everybody, especially Gretchen.
Another major event which happened was that even though I went to a second interview, I got word from the first job I interviewed for actually extended an offer to me! And since they are located just across the river, I decided to accept that offer almost immediately and this event pretty much extinguished all the anger, stress and hate that I have stored for the previous twenty-two months, since my list of those who were getting on my nerves at this time was totally purged off.
During finals, Cardozo and Jackson were at it again, but I considered this to be very insignificant in respect to any other things that may have been on my mind at that time. After finals, I felt a sense of closure at last, since I am burying the hatchet on everyone, especially those ex-classmates, because I would be expecting to be sitting near one of my ex-classmates (Jarvis) at my new co-op position.
Through all this, I still managed to chat a bit with both Charlotte and Veronica. Charlotte, though, was very busy, so there wasn't a lot between me and her at the time, but we did chat a few times. As for Veronica, she was willing to find a position for me at the company she works at, but I had to decline since I would need to go to the Midwest and that I already found another position to start my next co-op quarter.
I have finally felt a sense of closure after harboring such fire and anger for twenty-two months, since the darkest period of my life is finally over.....for now.
