Fed up!!!

I had to rewrite a paper today! I can't even express how pissed i am over the whole thing. The icing is that it's a group paper and the rest of my group thinks that my partner and i have done nothing. pretty much they have been sending emails and text messages all day to check up on us and make sure we're doing it. Thanks, I'm not such a huge fan of being babysat though. One of them got an especially rude response to her email and i frankly don't care! So last night and today have sucked pretty bad. I've been rewriting this thing all day at work and in a few minutes I'm going to have the professor look at it again and, I'm sure, tell me to rewrite it again. Fun huh?

So i get into work in the morning and i am, understandably, less than thrilled for the day ahead of me. I get all of my things out to get writing but first i check all of my emails and take care of a few things at work before i ignore work for the rest of the day. So we get an inspirational email everyday and the one today was perfect for my situation. Here's what it says....

"The energy you devote to being annoyed brings you nothing of value in return. So choose to quickly let go of your need to be annoyed.
The time and energy you put into being offended adds nothing positive to your life. So decide to quickly let go of your need to be offended.

Winning petty arguments will do nothing to enhance your relationships. So find a way to quickly let go of the need to prove that you're right.

There are many things that can hold you back. But they'll hold you back only as long as you continue to hold on to them.

Each day is filled with plenty of valid reasons to be angry, resentful, jealous, frustrated, offended and annoyed. All that negativity can stop you cold if you allow it to take up long-term residence in your life.

So make the choice to quickly let it go. And free yourself to soar above it all."

Awesome huh? I thought it was hilarious! Of course today i have still been so mad that at times i have been shaking with anger but if I'm mad but getting stuff done at the same time it negates it being a bad thing right? Anger is an emotion and i can't stop it from coming I'll just get everything done in spite of it. Sucky day!!!!!!!!!!
