The past week or so has been fantastic. No sarcasm there; after kicking the polar bears out of my mind and telling them to find a new home, I’ve had wonderful days and my mood has been significantly better than before. Yesterday was the worst day I’ve had since the 25th, but I still wouldn’t go so far as to say it was a “bad day.” I honestly don’t think I want to have bad days anymore – moderately OK days? Those are fine. Bad days? Nope, not here. Plus, the only reason yesterday wasn’t the greatest was because I had an exam and a long day of events that I don’t typically have on Fridays. Nevertheless I plowed through it and guess what? I’m still alive!
My boss at the Café actually asked me if there was any way she could steal me from my other job. I told her sorry, I can’t, and she replied “Well that’s a shame because I’d love to have you here.” While nothing short of doubling my wages would take me from my CBORD position, I appreciate the fact that she wants me to work more hours at the Café outside of the practicum. I also had one of my professors ask to use my abstract from our latest assignment as evidence of student learning and performance when the accreditation team comes on Monday. I guess I’m not half bad at writing after all.
And then this morning I was greeted with someone very dear to me saying that they were turning over a new leaf and taking better care of themselves. It’s so exhilarating to hear loved ones in such a good mood and ready to jumpstart a new outlook on life. It also makes me feel like I’m not alone on my journey in life knowing that someone else is taking the trip along side of me.
Tortillas, homework, grocery shopping, stew, more homework. At least this upcoming weekend I’ll get to go home. I’m attempting to finish up most of my homework now so that I can rot my mind away this weekend. Kraft Mac & Cheese Shells and Halo 4? Don’t mind if I do.~
