Why say goodbye...

when you aren't happy to be leaving.

Intimidation

When something or someone is intimidating, it or they can make you feel incredibly small. A week ago today I finished a course that had me intimidated the entire time. The professor was like none I had ever had, she was very strict in her grading and was not afraid to sound her opinion or point out anything that anyone missed or had gotten wrong or gotten confused about. At first I thought it was because she was just a hard ass, but I realized that she was pushing us, she was making us use critical thinking skills. This is something I can respect. I was terrified that I was going to flounder in the class though since she was such a hard grader and I have issues with technical things like knowing where to use commas, semi colons etc. I found out early Sunday morning that I ended the class with a 97.25%. That thrilled me, but something else thrilled me more and  I am still ecstatic to say that I earned a perfect score of 25 out of 25 on my final paper. She gave me some amazing feedback and many compliments; like my paper was the best one she had read in quite a while. Throughout the course I had been intimidated, feeling as if I were an inch tall and cowering in the corner like a scared child. I let the intimidation I felt bring me down and cause me a lot of stress. I am so proud to say that I survived that course and now I feel as though I can push my way through other tough situations. Do not let intimidation beat you down, rise above it!

Just a ticker..or two

Alpha Sigma Lambda!

So I have been invited for the past two years or so to join Golden Key International Honor Society. I have yet to join. On Tuesday I was invited once again to join Golden Key, I was also invited to join Alpha Sigma Lambda. On Wednesday I pledged to Alpha Sigma Lambda. I know this may not be exciting news to most, but hey I hardly ever have anything to celebrate and I think joining an Honor Society is something to be proud of. I have nothing else to say, just wanted to drop in and share a small bit of happiness in my life.

An idea...

I know I haven't posted here in a long while. I really haven't had anything new to say. So I thought I would make an entry. I hope you are all doing well. I am currently working on something, I am not sure how it is going to pan out, but hey, no one is ever sure about anything. I am currently working on a new story that I am writing. When I get the story completed I will most likely attempt to get it into ebook format since that is easier and since technology has been over taking physical books. If all goes as I hope, then I will most likely be creating a blog for that story, and for future stories/books. I am really, really excited about this idea, and I hope that I do not let it fizzle out like I have let so many other ideas and dreams fade away. Well, that's all I have to say for now, please let me know if you'd be interested in knowing what happens with my story and with the potential new blog.

I need a job

I need a job so freaking bad. I am getting so frustrated that I haven't even had an interview in ages. With my husband and I both out of work things are really bad. Every single thing we have besides car insurance is due within the next two weeks and they are all shut off notices because I am late on the payments. I need $500 to get those bills paid, and I just do not see that happening. I am so sick of being stressed and depressed about my life and my financial situation. I know times are tough for everyone, but damnit this sucks. I have been told that no one wants to hear my troubles, but frankly if you're going to read my blog, you're going to read what's on my mind. I live with this everyday, even when I put my fake smile on I am worrying in the back of my mind about the bills that I cannot pay. I hate having to fake a smile or a laugh just to appease others.

What would you like to see

What would you all like to see here at my blog? I have noticed that traffic has picked up but my comments have actually dropped off. I am guessing my blog had turned boring. I find myself not posting often as I feel I repeat myself over and over about boring topics in my life. So, as my readers I am asking you what topics would you like for me to discuss. Are there any questions you all would like to ask me?
