Changes

I had a realization tonight. I can talk about a certain someone I have loathed for years and not feel the anxiety I used to feel, nor the anger and hatred I felt toward that person anymore. I won't go into details about what happened or who it is, because that isn't important. The important thing is, is that I'm proud of myself for that. It shows I improved and changed quite a lot since we've been in Alaska. I even think that if I ran into that person one day, I would be somewhat okay with that and try to be civil. A year ago if you told me I'd ever say any of this stuff, I'd tell you that you were lying and were crazy. I never thought I'd see this day. 


I'm also slowly, but surely, learning to realize that as long as I do my best on assignments for school, then it doesn't matter what grade I got. I mean obviously the grade matters, but if I put forth my best effort, then I should be proud of that. It's a hard thing to learn, but hopefully I'll learn it in time and I won't be so disappointed when I don't always get the grades that I want. 


I'm also glad to report that I'm not nearly as stressed as I was at the time of my last posting! Somehow, I got two weeks of work done this week (including my huge forensic anthropology project), even though I hung out with Annie almost everyday. I didn't think I'd get so much done, but I did and I'm quite proud of myself. With all the work I got done today, I only have two more chapters to read in forensic anthropology. I hope to get that done this weekend, since note-taking isn't involved, which means, I can focus solely on studying for that class until my final. I also don't have much left in my forensic biology class either! The light at the end of that tunnel is getting brighter and closer!!
