It’s been a stressful week. I’m sleep deprived, my back is tweaked, and I’ve survived 3 exams. I still have another next week, and then 2 more before finals. It’s hitting that time in the semester where motivation is running low and exhaustion is running high. I want so badly to go home and sleep for a whole day, but I still have things to learn and accomplish today. There are still 5 weeks left in the semester. Still too many weeks and too much information left to still learn to live on the excitement of almost finishing another semester, but too few to take time off from the grind. It’s the time in the semester I really miss my family, friends, and my dog. And although it’s probably one of toughest times of any semester, taking a step back to appreciate the small things can change a mind set. As I sit on campus, post exam working on backlogged material for my next, I am thankful for this beautiful view, the breeze today that’s cutting the heat, and that while sometimes it’s harder than I can explain, this is my reality. Because I am fortunate that my reality is following my dream. So today, exhausted and on the search for my motivation, I am still thankful. #5moreweeks #needingthatbreak #needafloorcuddlewithSadieMae #thankgoodnessihaveRiggs (at Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine)
