After a hell week in the life of an engineer, I decided to surprise my family with a visit home.. It was one of the best feelings of my life being able to see their faces in such excitement and love. Even though I came home to realize my sister has used my bed and her bed to make a super bed, I just told her I hope shes ready to snuggle lol. Being home reminds me of my huge support group and nothing beats the feeling of being in the place you grew up in for ump-teen years.
But also being home gives me time to do a self evaluation. I have completed more than a month of being a resident adviser on Brooks 3 ( the best floor in the quad by far), I have taken all of my first round of exams ( this semester is going to be a fun one =P), I have continued to stay at a balanced weight while I have been at school ( i'm in a zumba class and i take daily walks with my friends). But I still realized I can be better, I can do better! There is no sense in being content with life when there's always room for improvement.
We are one third of our way through the semester, and for the other two thirds i'm stepping up my game even more. Although my sleep schedule is already at a maximum 4-5 hours a night, I can still do it! I'll accept the challenge, (as most of my residents have).
As the weather is getting colder, I have to keep my drive and determination, well and a sweater too . lol
I refuse to let anything or anyone bring me down
Anybody with me?
Great post, Mary! I am so glad that you are doing well! And that you are keeping up with Zumba! I definitely know what you mean about feeling loved and supported by going home. I really hope our trips home coincide at some point this semester- you were such a huge support to me this summer. I couldn't have made it without you!
ReplyDeleteJust remember in your constant quest for improvement, that bodies need sleep! You need to stay rested to keep your body working when you want to move it!
With lots of shimmy love,
Hannah
