Last week was action packed.
Finishing the group report, starting the seminar, studying for my other
Summer School courses, working full time and trying not to neglect my
friends. Additionally, managing some
complex relationship issues between my flatmates, avoiding conflict at every
turn and looking after my dog. Some
might say this is a stressful time, they would be correct! However, I am trying to cultivate a more positive
outlook for myself, so for this blog I am going to look to the future.
There is so much to look forward to. I am eagerly anticipating the end of Summer
School! I am incredibly excited about having a week where there are no blog
posts required, no study to be done and I can sit and watch TV. Guilt free TV time. What an amazing concept that is. A time when I can watch TV and I not stress
about the study I am not getting done. That
day will be a truly amazing one.
While I am excited about my future, I am also grateful for
the present. Someone once told me: the past
has passed, the future is undetermined and the present is a gift. While I wish I always felt this way, I do see
merit in this way of looking at the world. Imagine the peace that must come from
accepting that right now is all we have.
No one is guaranteed a future, everyone has a past, but we all have this
moment.
While that waffle may have seemed pointless and random, what
I am trying to say, is that even though I have had a very stressful week, it is
over. I survived it. This week has just begun. Today could be a great day! It really just
depends what I make of it.

Keep on keeping on! You have been doing an awesome job; it's not long now. If there is no light at the end of the tunnel, go up there and light it yourself! It is very important to set goals, and give your life purpose and meaning. Though this is true, you need to make a point of being in the present and make the most of 'now'.
