something good that happened is...

school's out for winter break! my last class was on wednesday and it was so nice. we had a sharing circle and reflected on what we learned during the course, and then we had a pizza party. i took out a fork to get my pizza with and the prof seemed to understand my situation right away. she offered to open a new box for me and let me take the first slice because nobody touched it yet. i didn't have to explain anything to her--i didn't even have to ask. i honestly got misty eyed because i felt so understood and valued in that moment. during the sharing circle, the prof gave everybody specific praise (based on assignments and participation) and sincere gratitude for our participation. what she said to me was that she loved the creativity i showed in my work and she wants me to know that teachers should be kind and care about their students, and that the relationship between a student and teacher isn't supposed to be transactional. i understood right away that she was referring to the email correspondence we had a couple days prior, where i asked for yet another extension and said that i felt bad about it and didn't mean to disrespect her or take advantage of her kindness. my last assignment was handed in on friday so today was my first full day with no school!

something bad that happened is...

( menstrual pains and bad grades )

i overcame the bad thing by...

( coping with embarassment )

i'm proud of myself for...

finishing all my final assignments on time, and having a lot of exciting things ahead of me for the next month. i love long breaks like winter break and summer break because i can do whatever i want. i'm proud of myself for having lots of fun things to do when i have free time. i know i've come a long way because i used to spend all these long breaks online as a teen.

 

things i did this week:

surfed the web

i used to play on https://www.barbapapa.com as a kid
discovered https://findtheinvisiblecow.com/ 

started building the diy miniature house that my friend got me for my birthday.
started playing coloring pixels, which i discovered because cc included it in one of her weekly gaming logs.

continued playing placid plastic duck simulator--i think i'll buy the new dlc coming out next week but only if it has new music. i'd love a christmas soundtrack so much!!
continued reading chosen for his desert throne by caitlin crews.

started playing genius invokation tcg (minigame from genshin impact! i haven't played through the new 3.3 archon quest yet though so no spoilers please!)

started reading the bible in chronological order. the one i have is the international children's bible that i've had since my communion.
