I realize that I often complain about many things in my life, like school, having lots of homework, having to decide whether I should take up the job offer, etc. But I guess I tend to overlook the small miracles that God has placed in my life and I really should be grateful for the opportunities that He has given me.

For example, this past week, I have had 2 homework deadlines extended (my simulation homework and marketing case) and I really needed those extensions because I had to deal with BOC stuff and I would have had to sleep much later if I didn't get those extensions. And my ODI meeting, which was supposed to be on Friday, was postponed to this afternoon because a few of my group members had other commitments on Friday and again, that worked better for me because I at least had the time to look through the readings and the cases before the meeting.

With regards to the offer, I realize that I shouldn't be complaining too much about not really wanting to decide and not liking having to decide (I mean it is a big decision), but I do have an offer and it is definitely a nice feeling knowing that you have something in the bag, versus not having an offer at all. The terms of the contract are quite good too and I like the team there, which is a big bonus. So I guess I have no right to complain so much.

I have also tried to book a hotel for my parents to stay when they are here to visit me and I couldn't make reservations online, so I called the hotel up on Friday and managed to make reservations, even though the rates are very expensive. Today, I found out that my cousin could actually get corporate rates for the hotel, and the rates are quite cheap! It was a really pleasant surprise.

I guess more often than not, I often take a microscopic view of my life and fail to look at the big picture. I like to complain about lots of little things, but come to think of it, I really have no right to complain because He has done many more wonderful things in my life. I really have to change my perspective and be more grateful and contented.
