What I Learned this Week 1/21/2017

Some people are loving, some people are hateful,. And some people are so hateful, they do not deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of us. When it comes down to it, friends and family are ALL we have, so treasure them. You can do ANYTHING you set your mind to, you have to choose whether it is going to be a destructive or constructive something.

YOU ONLY REGRET THE THINGS YOU DON'T DO!

Life is hard enough without looking over your shoulder all the time. Make sure YOU are not the reason someone else is looking over their shoulder. Being on either end of that interaction is not the way to live.

This week has tested  my strength and my ability to overcome both aspects of my anxiety and depression. It started out not knowing whether I moved into the correct room or not, I WAS. Thank gods. Then it transitioned to two days of uncertainty and waiting.
I am living on campus, and that may or may not out for the rest of my time here.  Having this level of anxiety is stopping me from doing this again. It has to stop.

One my first day of classes, I only had two classes. I also had to buy a parking permit and obtain an ID. Turns out the incredible debacle of getting the parking pass turned out just fine but it was a an incredibly stressful five hours. Getting my ID, which should have been very simple, ended up being another trial, but it also worked out fine. SO I made it through my first day.

Wednesday was also stressful : job interview, dietetics luncheon where I knew no one, and class with my intimidating adviser.

Thursday and Friday were just fine.

I want to say I haven't learned anything academically this week, but that probably is not true. OH - one thing - Calcium ions make heartburn (GERD, Gastric reflux) much worse. So that old adage of drinking milk for a sour stomach = worse sour stomach/burning. Caffeine, alcohol, mint does the same.

Also found the grocery stores in the area ✔

Next week: first full week.

All of that being said, make sure you live this one life the way you want to. Do what makes you happy and that will help others be happy as well. As long as you are not hurting anyone else or yourself (or throwing someone under the bus), you can do it all. Believe in yourself and in the goodness of others.

Love you all, as always, and I will have much more next week, Promise. Plus Food Allergy video and Suicide video up on YouTube.
