I am taking a small study break to post this, but tonight I am spending my time in the library. Already I have:
- An hour of physics studying
- My Anthropology reading (and response)
- My Computer Programming reading (and reading quiz)
And now all I need to do is study some calculus, work on my calculus homework, and make sure I do my calculus reading. (Only the reading is actually due tomorrow) I still need to complete my application forms for Research, but I will probably try to work on that once I am back in my room.
Did I complete everything I wanted to do this weekend?
No, not exactly. But I want to teach myself to hold myself to lower expectations. It may not be possible for me to do ALL of the chapter review questions in the back of my physics textbook in a day, or even half of them. That may be disappointing, but it doesn’t mean I will fail. I’m still human, and I need to remember that it is okay that I don’t do everything on my list. My expectations are often very unrealistic for even a robot to accomplish. But I call this a win.
Instead of giving up and calling it a night I am working away in the library, trying to be a little more responsible and make myself a little more comfortable with myself. And I am! It might seem a little dumb, but I want give myself this small celebration.
Now It is time to get back to work.
