i am grateful that i get to stay in my current accommodation until (at least) Feb 2015.
i am grateful that my biology labs are going well.
i am grateful that the weather is so pleasant.
i am grateful that i got through a couple of hard weeks without having a meltdown.
i am grateful for coffee... for having enough money to enjoy little luxuries. the odd craft beer.
i am grateful that babble is still here...
i am grateful that i got the opportunity to study more broadly.
i am grateful that i can study full time next year and that my current government payments will just keep on until (at least) December 2014.
I am grateful that my grades this year... Only matter insofar as I need entry to next year. It helps lift the pressure a bit for me... Helps me rage a little less at the... Uh... Arbitrariness of it all... I am remembering that there really are quite a significant bunch of reasons why people don't tend to do well in their first year and that a lot of it has to do with the very nature of first year classes.
I am grateful that I will have 4 nicely designed classes next year. And that I will have the... Uh... Opportunity to develop my 'just grin and bear it' skills for the other classes next year. Safe in the knowledge that so long as I pass them alright... My grades in the other classes... Really don't matter. Coming back to the 'there is a whole bunch of reasons why people do badly in first year' thing...
I am grateful that I am starting to accumulate the books etc that I need.
I am grateful that there is a holiday soon.
I am grateful that... I am doing okay. Feeling okay. Feeling like things are progressing. Ticking along.
Yeah.
