[5/21/19]

I had a meeting with her about a lab report I turned in, that I got around a B- on because my writing isn’t the best. She explained to me a few things in the following ways: 

1. She started by telling me the points that I really did well in, in a very believable, genuine way (it didn’t feel like just bs to make me feel better).

2. She let me know how to fix my poor writing. This is so important. I have turned in so many papers where I’ve received similar grades where no one says what’s wrong just, you need to work harder. She explained exactly my issue and where I was going wrong and even went over some possible strategies on how to not suck. 

3. She helped me set goals. She said this is where you are and by the end of the semester this is where you can be. 

I did not leave this meeting hating myself, I did not leave this meeting thinking I’m not good or smart enough, but rather knowing I have potential, I have support, and that I can do it. 

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!!! 

You’re allowed to be tired, even if you haven’t “done” anything and you’re allowed to be tired even if you did less than someone else.

Perfect spot to sit between lunch and class. It’s raining, it’s cold, but I’ve got my almond milk cappuccino (yes I’m that girl) so I’m good.

This is my favorite spot in the library. I just had a job interview and now I’m prepping for Latin class. I hope everyone’s week is getting off to a good start!
