Hi, guys!
Now that this phase is over, I need to recover and move on. I essentially had a major nervous breakdown, and now I really need some time to recover because I'm feeling really bad, even physically. So I'm taking some time to recover and then returning to active work later, not right now.
I'm graduating today, but I don't even know yet if I want to go. On the one hand, it's an event I really don't want to miss, but on the other, if there's a discussion about whose texts were accepted and whose weren't, that could have a really negative impact on me. So for now, I don't know what to do—to go or not. I think I'll decide later this evening, because I don't know how I'll feel yet.
For now, I want to go to the mall for a little shopping. It's something I always enjoy, so that's what I'm planning to do today. But first, I'll take my dogs for a walk. In short, I'm going to do things that relax me as much as possible. And then, later this evening, I'll decide whether I want to appear at the graduation.
There's still a glimmer of hope that my text will be accepted, but I'm already choosing not to believe it. Judging by the publishers' behavior at the pitch, they weren't interested in listening to me, so I don't expect them to be interested. But my flair for miracles leaves me with a sliver of hope.
Have a great day, everyone!
