I normally use these blogs as a way to express myself, although today I wanted to take this CH. 13 and its significance of what the number means to me, to take a second ask you all, How are you guys, really truly; how are you guys feeling? I am grateful for all the comments you have left in the past two months and would just like to take the time see where my peers are at in their life's right now. If you don't wish to share that is fine I can respect that, feel free to leave *no comment* if you must. So from the top, thank you all and how are you?
Rushed, overspill, ultimately grateful :-)
ReplyDeleteRushed because much things to do for work, teaching, and home.
Overspill as there is not enough time in a day to address them all so I prioritize and make some difficult choices!
Ultimately grateful as I see that things could be worse and I still have my health and things will improve on all fronts ^_^
Thank you for sharing Professor Wu.
ReplyDeleteJuan, I hope you are doing well.
ReplyDeleteI read your blog carefully every time because your writing skills are really amazing!
Thank you for the complement, your blog is also an inspiration please keep it up.
DeleteI am super fantastic. I just passed the MO-300 today (Nov 27, 2022). I did a good job on most of the test when time expired with one last section not completed I still passed with a 725. Professor and I was amazed that I still passed we both thought I was gonna fail. I got my girlfriend to get into the holiday spirit. We just returned from the stores shopping for Christmas decorations. Today is a good day.
ReplyDeleteYes, today is a great day, ^_ ^ and Christmas is around the corner here is hoping that your days be jolly.
DeleteThis semester has pushed my limits but most of the time I am great. I'm a resilient old soul that doesn't know how to quit. The past two weeks, I feel like the weight of the world was dumped on my shoulders. I need the holidays to be over with so I can get back to being myself.
ReplyDeleteSilvia, I hope you can enjoy these holidays and that you get time for yourself. Thank you for sharing.
DeleteThis semester has shown me that commitment to college is a 24/7 job. Constant work on assignments kept up late every night.
ReplyDeleteTrue, I am learning to demonstrate that same conviction that you have showed in this course to all my classes.
DeleteTo be honest, I'm barely hanging on by a thread. The semester is almost over, but I've been mentally checked out since November, and it's not just with schooling. The ambition isn't there; the motivation isn't there; the perseverance is barely there. I worry about my future, but I know what happens in the present determines the future, which is why I'm staying strong; my hard work will pay off! I don't feel like doing it, but I *will* do it.
ReplyDeleteYuan, don't give up! There will be days when you may be down, those are the days when its important to take five minuets for yourself before moving on. I hear you like Saweetie, take an other listen to one of her songs center yourself and I know you can turn what your feeling into genuine drive and conviction. I hope you do better buddy.
DeleteI’m doing amazing and I’m grateful for everything. I’m enjoying the last weeks of this semester because it is the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one.
ReplyDeleteWell said Saul, Well said.
DeleteWhere do I eve begin? Life is a mess right now but nothing we won't get through.
ReplyDeleteI swore I commented to this post previously. My response was not very optimistic. It just goes to show you that things get better with time.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that things are going in your favor, Mayra I hope this positive energy continues for you.
DeleteI feel this is like a roll call of sorts. Though there may be some of you that might not share an update, I am one of those. Just kidding. So far life is great. Things can always get better. The distance between now and my future goal is getting closer. So I hope you have a positive outlook for the times to come, whether in school or work for you.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling, looking at this class and acknowledging that this was the first step of many that I, we, that all of us; are going to pass, there is something truly poetic about that.
DeletePhysically, I'm fine. Mentally, I'm kinda all over the place. The end of the year is just a train wreck for me for some reason. Right after Halloween, the holidays snowball from Thanksgiving, to Christmas, to my daughter's birthday, and finally into the new year. Both my kids got onto the school bowling team, so that's just another calendar I need to add to my already full schedule. But you know what? I got this. I remind myself that it will not stay this way forever. I have to remain optimistic and remember that everything comes in seasons, and this too shall pass.
ReplyDeleteYes, well said.
DeleteLots going in a short time of space. Nothing I can't handle. Like everyone the holidays are upon us.
ReplyDeleteYes they are, Candido I wish you a lovely holiday for your family and your dogs.
