This week was a bit rough for me. I struggled with the new schedule and ended up hitting a few bumps along the way. And, unfortunately, with those bumps came missing a couple days of class. It didn't really effect me academically, but it still bothered me nonetheless. I ended up missing most of the lessons in this class, which made it difficult for me to relate with the other students as I had missed vital information that couldn't be found in a textbook. I'm also finding that the biggest controversies I face are with myself, despite my insistence of otherwise. My initial judgments for this class have gradually changed throughout the week, and with that I've also been noticing how judgmental I really am. This realization was actually pretty unnerving to me, because I've spent a majority of my time trying to avoid passing judgment altogether. Hopefully now that I'm aware of the problem it'll be easier to correct. I've also (finally) began to realize that it really is okay to seek help, despite the cliches that come with doing so. Sometimes I just need to suck up my pride and get things done, because that's really what being an adult is about, right? On a side note, the bitter child part of me is super unhappy lately because this growing up part of me is realizing the people who raised me were right about a lot of things. Who'da thought? The irony is almost too much for me. So, at least for now, I'm thoughtfully sarcastic, happily unhappy, and cautiously optimistic.
