Today is one of "those" days, a day where I would rather be doing something else than what I know I must get done. I had a good day, cooked up a storm for our monthly family dinner and it was unfortunate that half of my small family unit couldn't show up but it was an awesome dinner just the same. After my company left I rested for a bit, got up and now it's time to get some serious reading done, reading which I don't feel like doing but if I'm going to get this degree I'd best just do it.
Some days I just don't feel like doing this education stuff anymore, it'd be much easier to just pack it all in BUT I'm bound and determined to do this. I just have to keep on pushing forward and what the heck, I've come this far so why give up now? I have to turn off my internet and get focused. I hope to knock off a few chapters tonight but I'd best sit at my desk and push through it, I'm doomed if I go and try to read in bed, I'll just fall asleep... so see you all when I can come up for some air!

You will definitely go forward Darlin...
ReplyDeleteReally think you are very focused, but glad you had your family dinner, despite some absent members.
Have a good week!
You can do it!!!
ReplyDeleteYou'll do it! I have faith in you!!
ReplyDeleteYou are one of the most determined people I know and have been an inspiration to me to work harder at my own goals. Too often I have given in to that temptation to just pack it in and quit and I ALWAYS regret it! Like you said, you've come this far so whats the point of stopping now?
I am like you, if I have something I have to read, I can't get in bed or even settle on the couch with a blanket. It's funny, normally when you read something several times it sticks with you better, but there have been many times I find myself reading the same page over and over again (as I fall asleep) and still can't remember a thing! :)
Have a GREAT day!!!
Fun is more tempting, but you must go forward ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreetz,

Sadly not so good days come to all of us. Thankfully, you are focused ,so I know you will make it!Blessings jane
ReplyDeleteTake your time, Darlin'!
ReplyDeleteThe early bird might get the worm, but the *second* mouse gets the
cheese.
I have nothing but complete respect for your determination when it comes to your studying. You are an inspiration to us all for sure.
ReplyDeleteI will respond to your email in the next day or two, I want to make sure I get it right.
Take care
Si
Oh I hate when that happens...I was sure I posted a comment here, and maybe you got it? Not sure where in cyber space they sometimes go...who knows...but I hope your week is fantastic! Take care!
ReplyDeleteShirleyanne thanks for your vote of confidence, I'm trying to get out of this mode and hope to soon!
ReplyDeletePam, I sure hope so.
Andy, strange as it is I love to read, but ya... not when I have to read and without reading all of the material that's a failure in itself. I've caught up in one subject, now to tackle the others. One page at a time I sure hope the heck I can snap out of this! And thank you.
Joseph, you bet fun is more tempting, it seems I'm forgetting how to have fun and best go out somewhere and do something fun just for me soon. That just might be it! Thanks.
Jane thank you also for the vote of confidence.
LL, I love cheese!
Si, thank you and no rush on the response... I'm almost scared of what might be in that one! ;-)
Karen, I hate when that happens as well and nope no response except this one that showed up. I leave all of my responses up unless it's some vulgar potty mouth who has no business being on the internet and I know you're not one of them! :-) And a good week to you as well.
You're not going to pack it in - we ALL know you better ! But I know the feeling and can empathize (I won't repeat what I did to get my degree ..). What I did find, however, is that sometimes with 'forced' reading you come across the most amazing things. Remember - 'some days are diamonds, some days are stones' !
ReplyDeleteRick, I'd love to hear the stories, most likely something I can relate to. I'm attempting to turn my thinking around, wrap my head around the new information yet there's some sort of a resistance. I'm sure that I'll get through this, as I mentioned I'm determined but some days it gets tough... the stone days. Thanks. Have a good Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteAt least, you are still having fun through BLOGGER :-D
ReplyDeleteGreetz,
Joseph
Joseph, I'd miss your sense of humor, yours and plenty of others, if I left here now! ;-) Thanks for the uplift, when all else fails BLOG!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
