The best medicine

When I first entered business school, I was told that "some days you'll feel on top of the world, and other days, you'll question how you ever got admitted." They were right, but I never thought that I could feel both on top of the world and in the dumps multiple times in the same day.

I know it's like this for many people, regardless of the kind of work they do or whether or not they are in school. It's frustrating to have so many mood swings so often during the day. The morning starts out great, and then an interview doesn't go the way you want. Then you get a "quiz" back (see previous posts about my feelings on quizzes) and you've done great. Then you remember a project is due in the next 48 hours. Then someone does something nice for you. Then you get another quiz back and it's not great. Then someone makes you laugh.

A constant roller-coaster ride. I guess there's not much to do, but just to try to keep everything in perspective. And maybe to laugh more. That seems to always help a little.
