This week, I am thankful:
that my class overlap is done!
I am so very happy that I’m back down to just one class again.
And I’m glad that the eight-page paper and group project are behind me.
that there are no group projects in my current class
The level of relief I feel is indescribable. I vastly prefer to do all my schoolwork on my own. I end up doing most of the group work anyway, and at least when I’m working on my own, I don’t have to do all the effort of trying to organize everyone and keep things moving forward.
I just move forward on my own, and that is way easier.
A pox on group projects, I say!
for my countdown latte
I told you earlier this week about my plan to mark each work week’s end with a latte, so yesterday, which was shift 3/3, I got a latte.
Yum!
Five more to go.
that summer is about halfway over
As you know, I am not the biggest fan of summer, largely because I think the weather is diabolical.
Some people get weather-related depression in January, but me? I feel blue when I look at the July forecast.
Summer generally offers a consolation prize in the form of a school break, but I don’t even have that this year. So, this season is really giving me nothing.
That’s why I’m thrilled we’re halfway through July! It’s only about a month and a half until September, and there should be some weather improvements then.
that I can write
I keep being grateful, grateful, grateful that writing is not hard for me. BSN classes are almost nothing but writing, and I imagine this program is ten times as miserable for people who aren’t well-practiced at writing.
that I read fast
In addition to writing, BSN classes also require a fair amount of reading (especially journal articles as we research topics), so I am super grateful that I’m a quick reader.
Research would take much longer otherwise!
for citation generators
I use mybib.com’s free tools to help me format my APA citations for my reference pages, and I do not feel one particle bad about it. My brain is crammed with a billion things right now, and I do not need to waste time formatting references.
Of course, I do always check the end product because reference tools can make mistakes! Heck, even the “cite this book” tool inside my textbook formats the title incorrectly.
(Using a citation tool is not prohibited at my school, just so you know. 😉 I’m not breaking any rules.)
for the wonderful feeling of sitting down after a shift
When I get into my car, and the weight finally comes off my feet, it feels SO GOOD.
This feeling is only topped by the sensation of getting into bed after a shift. Then my feet feel really good.
What are you thankful for this week?
