Just one of those days!

This has been a tough week...no particular reason, except that I'm pretty busy with full day classes. I'm learning (key here: IN THE MISDT OF LEARNING) how not to take things personally.

  • I got into a debate with another classmate on the benefits of homework, 
  • haven't worked out as much as I would like, and feel like I've gained 20 pounds! 
  • just finished a complete day where my brain was mush, and 
  • I actually said half a sentence in Spanish during class (remember, I'm supposed to be learning Chinese)!

I know it's just one of those weeks, but I constantly am listening to my "encouraging" music and catching up online with Sunday stuff! This keeps me grounded, reminding myself that there really is a world outside of language school :)
Several of my friends here and especially back home have helped me a lot with encouraging words, whether or not they knew it. I had an instance today where I had to ask for help on my homework because nothing was landing in my brain! It was a fairly simple assignment, but one of the other students offered to help. He basically read through the entire thing with me, and I had to remind myself that I'm not helpless, even though I ask for help. These are just truths I'm reminding myself of daily. I think reminding myself whose I am will keep me ready for a time when someone else needs my help!
