I've been quiet lately because the universe has been testing me. It's finals at school, work is crazy, my friends were having crises, it snowed (yeah, yeah, Seattleites are wimps, but seriously the city shuts down) and there was a family holiday in there too.
I have to say, I'm not very religious (having a gay father makes one a little anti-church), but sometimes I feel like something is watching out for me. It's almost like it's saying, "I'm going to test the shit out of you, but you'll be ok. There will never be more than you can handle." Just when it feels like I'm 2 seconds from hiding in the bathroom huddled in a ball crying for the rest of the day, things start looking up.
So instead of reliving all the crap, I'm going to write about the good things.
Yesterday was a nightmare, but then I went to class and it got so much better. I really love school. I got a paper back, and my grade was 14.5 out of 15. The instructor had given me nice, thoughtful comments. I appreciate how he really reads our work and provides good feedback instead of slapping a grade on it and calling it done.
The second awesome thing was that I had a huge guidance unit project (like a lesson plan for counselors) due last night. Before turning it in, we got to take 10 minutes to share what we did with a small group. When we rejoined the class, the teacher asked if anyone had seen anything noteworthy in their group. Well, one woman in my group raised her hand and shared about my project! She praised some of my ideas in front of the whole class! That gave me super warm fuzzies and made my day!
I just have 2 more days of class, and then I'm on winter break. I am so excited for my trip to San Francisco and going snowboarding!
