Weekend Positivity

I missed two weeks this time. One of them was xmas so I can hardly be blamed for that, and the other I was far away from home visiting family, so I didn't really feel like posting. I won't feel guilty about it, as long as it doesn't keep me from getting back into the habit...so back to it now!

I am proud of:

• exercising.
• doing laundry.
• cleaning out my closet of things I don't wear.
• staying relatively calm when I almost wrecked my second cheesecake, and asking for help.
• keeping up with the dishes.

I enjoyed:

• time with family.
• wii.
• finishing Night Watch. <3
• listening to my new car stereo on my loooong car trips.
• making a cheesecake with a candy cane on it:

I love:

• my new electric kettle.
• my boyfriend.
• my cat.
• my bed.
• being home, the place where all those other wonderful things I love are conveniently gathered!

Take care, all! :)

I have learned that when I accidentally delete the "Weekend Blog" entry from my task list, I forget to do it. The extreme busyness may have had something to do with it, too.

I am proud of:

• keeping up with the dishes again.
• getting my finals graded by Sunday afternoon, when grades weren't due until Tuesday night.
• getting all my grades wrapped up Monday, a day early.
• enjoying a somewhat awkward (well, everything is awkward for me) social situation.
• putting off Skyrim until everything necessary was done.

I enjoyed:

• getting thank-yous from students. :)
• playing silly games.
• xmas shopping for little things from Lush (eagerly awaiting their delivery now!).
• sleeeeeeeeeep.
• baking a cheesecake with a santa hat on it:

I love:

• my boyfriend.
• sharing things I bake with people.
• hugs.
• my cat.
• vacation!

Take care, all, and have a great holiday time (or mundane-but-awesome week if you don't celebrate anything nowish)! :)

I am a day late. This past week has been ramping up pretty dramatically into finals week. This coming week (up through next Tuesday) will be ridiculously busy with grading, and then I will get some time off.

I am proud of:

• finishing the online course (with 100%)!
• keeping my room pretty clean.
• keeping up with the dishes.
• expressing myself during a fight and ending it productively.
• planning out my class time effectively to cover remaining material (done now).

I enjoyed:

• playing Skyrim.
• seeing students' finished projects, many of which are quite cool.
• sleeping quite a lot (I have been ill, so it was good for me).
• talking to friends.
• being silly at home.

I love:

• my boyfriend.
• brownies.
• my cat.
• bed.
• Elder Scrolls III-V.

Take care, all. :)

Weekend Positivity

This week was pretty normal. Not much to say about it, really. I am still not sure if blogging positives has ultimately helped me, but it certainly doesn't hurt.

I am proud of:

• doing all the online course stuff super early this week.
• cleaning my room today before playing a game.
• keeping up with the dishes.
• maintaining my distance from the aforementioned negative influence.
• asking for things I wanted (and getting them, huzzah).

I enjoyed:

• covering some fun material in class.
• playing a silly game and a not-so-silly game.
• having a fairly clean apartment.
• playing with my cat.
• sharing ridiculous in-jokes.

I love:

• my boyfriend.
• brownies.
• my cat.
• comfy soft surfaces.
• hugs.

Take care, all. :)

Absurdly busy in a different way this time...I only worked one day this week but there was a ton of stuff to do anyway, between grading, cleaning, and Thanksgiving. I am a day late, but I'm going to use Monday-Sunday as usual and save today's stuff for next weekend's post if I need it.

I am proud of:

• getting the remaining exams from the previous week graded early.
• keeping up with the online course again, doing the majority of the work early.
• giving the whole apartment a proper cleaning.
• refraining from playing Skyrim until I had proper time for it.
• clearing up a frustrating misunderstanding without getting too panicky over it (I borrowed my boyfriend's rational thinking a little bit to do so).

I enjoyed:

• getting $14 cute low-heeled pumps that fit (I have been looking for something like this for a year or more, so yay).
• putting 7 hours into Skyrim when I finally had a day to myself.
• time with family people.
• time off and time to myself.
• waking up without alarms for several days in a row.

I love:

• my boyfriend.
• Skyrimmmmmm.
• my wonderful kitty.
• Diet Dr. Pepper Cherry (for $2.50/12-pack :D)
• sleep.

Take care, all. :)

This week has been absurdly busy, but I am still managing to post this.

I am proud of:

• getting yet more homework grading done on time, when I had an excuse I could have used to avoid it.
• copying all four exams this week a day ahead of time.
• getting exams graded on time or early...two more to go, I hope to finish tomorrow (which would be very early).
• keeping up with the online class despite the hectic week of four exams.
• staying away from the negative influence again, despite being very tempted not to.

I enjoyed:

• socializing.
• teaching cool topics.
• dinners out.
• winning a difficult game of Words with Friends.
• watching The Sing Off and being silly.

I love:

• my cat.
• Fresca.
• Elder Scrolls games, although I am waiting to really play this one.
• the prospect of time off this week!
• my boyfriend.

Take care, all. :)

Here we go again. I am even starting this prior to midnight, go me! (Finishing prior to midnight is, of course, a different story).

I am proud of:

• getting a bunch of grading done on time.
• keeping up with the class I'm taking (full credit so far).
• writing an exam early.
• doing the dishes.
• staying away from the aforementioned negative influence for a full week (and counting).

I enjoyed:

• playing with my nutso kitty.
• watching tv shows (good, bad, and mediocre).
• ticklish silliness.
• dinner out at a burger place.
• nice weekend sleep.

I love:

• my boyfriend.
• fall weather.
• sleep.

Take care, all. :)
