My favorite quote at the website was this one:
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement, nothing can be done without hope and confidence." -- Helen Keller
Just when I thought I was done, my diagnostic case report was returned to me with a lot of "red", I'm not use to seeing that :) I spent the night awake, my stomach in knots and my head throbbing because I could not figure out how I would be able to squeeze one more assessment session in this week since it is a very short school week.
I feel a bit better this morning (even after no sleep). It's 7:30 am but I have already talked to my student's mother (God Bless you Lucille!) and will be able to complete my parent interview in two hours when she is available to talk. My next step will be to work out one last session with Nathaniel and his mother. I have a feeling of optimism this morning. I can get this done, a few red edits is not the end of the world and a little time crunch kind of makes this exciting.
I also get to end the week with a much needed family vacation to Australia. This will be the first trip we've taken off Guam that my husband will be home for and we are all very excited to get away. We leave Thanksgiving night and will be back bright and early Monday morning. Hopefully my case report will be ok'd by Wednesday or I'm bringin my laptop with me. Optimism, optimism, optimism.
I'm thinking of all of you this morning as I was last night. We can get through this, we are almost done and I am so thankful that I have my inner circle to go through this with (I might even reconsider and walk through graduation with all of you).
Happy Thanksgiving!

From the conversation we had on the phone, I was already nervous with how my diagnostic case report was looking like. I'm sure that it was that "slaughtered." Our professors really work well with us because they want all of us to do well.
Anyway,enjoy your family vacation. Happy Thanksgiving!
I think of all of us in the inner circle...We should pull through...In a way, I welcome the red marks...It only shows progression....Have a great vacae! You deserve it!
Have fun on your family vacation down under! Don't forget the pasalubong:) Also, I'm happy that you are considering in walking with us in May. It wouldn't be the same without you--my partner in crime!
