That is a huge deal in grad school, considering that I have exams like every other week. How many times have I mentioned this in here, probably in every other post. Gotta stop saying that.
Neuro exam on Monday *check* even got the grade for that. Didn't do too badly myself ;)
Phonology exam today *check* it was harder than I expected.
Spontaneously planned dinner with the SLHS girls tomorrow night *looking forward to it*
Then, Legally Blond the musical after that *jumps up and down*
Dancing with Mel the roomie after that *haha*
Crash in bed and wait for Friday to come with Dong! *smiles*
Bloomington to see Joliana on Friday for my little taste of home *YAYYY!*
Looks like the bad week is going to end on a good note and I like that! Very very much.
Today I realized that negativity and a lack of self-esteem can really do something to a person. It can really destroy a person, and affect the people around you. Sure, the 2 hour lab on Wednesdays really really suck. But hey, suck it up. We're all sucking it up. We complain when we have to start lab and then we groan and moan our way through it. But don't get all crabby and full of hate just because you hate lab. We hate it as much as you do, but we owe it to ourselves to make it more bearable to each other. Negativity really brings everything for you, and everyone close to you down.
I guess it's really hard for people who've had so many challenges in your life, and they just can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. What I tell myself each time is that if I can just get through this one hurdle the best I can, it'll all be over before I even know it. Then you'll look back at wonder at yourself, in awe at how far you've come from that one hurdle. Isn't that a good feeling? Today I learned that we should always give ourselves the benefit of our doubt and always think that we're worth so much more than we know ourselves to be. You have to give yourself some credit in the job that you do, the impact you make on people, the success you have achieved, and how much more you are capable of. Sometimes the more you put yourself down and worse, tell people about it, the more it seems like you're seeking empathy and reassurances that you're Not nothing, Not useless and Not a nobody. We all need to hear that sometimes from people, I need to hear it sometimes. But at the core of it, we need to believe it ourselves for our own sanity.
Positivity and Confidence really does go a long way.
