June Grew Me
July 05, 2017If you didn't notice, I disappeared for the month of June. I was in summer school and all I could think about was trig and stats. I learned so much Greek, you guys, and talk about ROUGH nightmares-I woke up at least once every night multiplying and doing formulas or repeating the Unit Circle (which I constantly called the Unit Square in class like the idiot I am. Sighhhhhhhhh)
Since I'm at work at the momento...
This post will simply be an update.
I joined a Mom's group. I joined a Bible study group. I made a B in Statistics. I read almost two books. Watched a show. Made new friends. And I feel like I progressed as a human being in a lot of ways. I think it's fair to say, June grew me.
I don't know what I made in Trig yet because grades have not been posted and our teacher was not nice enough to give us our grade. 😫 I'm worried. Like REALLY worried. I know some people may saw "You made a B in Stats! You have nothing to worry about!" but yo...Trig was tough. I sorta regret having to have to take it in the summer (this wasn't my fault entirely, but had I done better at ULM back in 2011, this wouldn't have had to be an issue).
The book I read was "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson.
This book was amazing! I read it in a week. It had a nice and easy flow, and he pretty much told you everything you needed to know without being complicated or talking like a know-it-all or a philosophical guru.
A snippet of information the book taught is....
We all have values (good and/or bad) and these values are what set off our emotions. Normally when someone goes against one of our values we get huffy and puffy and blame the other person for not following our value...but not everyone has the same values. What we need to do is assess these values and figure out why we have certain ones and get rid of the bad ones.
Pretty simple.
I'll talk more about it later because I found this to be a very good topic for discussion.
I bet you're wondering "Mikaylaeras, if you were in school for 6 hours a day and worked and study and was a momma, how on earth did you have the free time to read and watch stuff and join church groups?"
Maybe you're not wondering, but I am..
Honestly, I have no clue how I toggled it all. Maybe it's because I limited myself to only 3 outside friends the whole month of June. And I only interacted with them maybe once a week. I also watched and read in spurts. I did the whole a-little-before-class and a-little-before-bed and somehow I was able to accumulate much unnecessary progress. I'm proud of myself for making it. Talk about a heckova month.
There are a couple of things that I think I'll write about soon. Be patient with me. I'm still getting over June: catching up with friends and family. Getting out of school on a holiday weekend made having me time not possible. I haven't been home home in SOO long. I cannot wait to just watch netflix all on my own, not worrying about being a mommy or grades and just PJing the day away...until I lose my mind from not moving enough and go for a run. Hehe
