A lot has happened since I posted last. I am happy to tell you that I got a B on my Management3000 test. I took my Accounting and Statistics tests today and I think I got B's on both of those as well if not close to it or...hopefully better.
Things have been going more smoothly for me lately with the exception of being a big homesick and having to study for three exams all back-to-back. I've been making sure that no matter what I get a decent amount of sleep every night. I've also picked up one other little thing that has seemed to help me a lot.
Every night when I'm laying in my bed I thank God for allowing my mind and my body to do what they did for me that day, then I thank them myself. I am tired of my bones and muscles feeling unappreciated for all of the work they do so i've decided that thanking them is going to be my assurance that they are doing more than I give them credit for just by doing their every day jobs.
I can't think of any "personal" stuff that's been going on that is blog worthy. All I can say is that lately I've had a ton of encouragement from so many different sources that it's amazing. Everyone needs encouragement from time to time.
It's hard sometimes to know what to say to encourage others but I'm going to give it a try. My mom and dad always told met that giving up wasn't an option. When I complained about something they say "it's called work Koleen, not fun."Sometimes you have to push through the bad stuff to get to the other side and enjoy the good stuff. You have to travel through your own desert for 40 years before you get to the promised land. Though my daily struggles are hardly comparable to eating mana that falls from the sky, sometimes it sure feels like that and I know I'm not alone in feeling that way.
Just know reader, that if you're out there struggling and feeling down, that I am always thinking about you. I am always praying for the best outcome for you and wishing you the best. You have people that will be behind you no matter what and will give you points just for trying. There is an old quote that says "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." To me this says that don't be afraid to fail. If you fail, it sucks but you don't lose. You have still gained experience. But above all you still can't give up.
Just remember readers, somewhere there is someone thinking about you always.
Always win, win, win, no matter what.
