TGIF everyone! I tried to blog consistently this week...but that didn't work out. It has been a hectic past few days, and all the craziness paid off when I had the honor to meet author, blogger and overall amazing woman Demetria Lucas when she visited my university and spoke to the many students in attendance. After intense planning, we pulled off a successful event and I can't be any happier about it!
My weekend will, as usual, consist of lots of homework, studying, and soccer watching. Not only will I have to keep myself motivated throughout the weekend, but I have to be sure to stay extra toasty and warm. According to the weather forecast, Philadelphia is supposed to get a modest amount of snow with a high temperature of 43ºF. Say what?!
I love that the weather is getting cooler, and this wouldn't be the first time that we get snow in October. But I'm a bit apprehensive about the possibility of snowfall. We'll see, I suppose. Until then, I have to check off the myriad of things that are on my "to-do" list today.
As I stated last week, I will write about something I'm thankful for in my life once a week until Thanksgiving. And after this very long week, I can sit back and realize that I am incredibly grateful that I have an abundance of opportunities given to me, and that I am in school and enjoying my experience in college.
I may complain about the workload, the stress, and the annoyances. I may be lazy, and I may have no control over my emotions and unintentionally let out my anger on people. But deep down I love college and I love being here. I constantly think to myself: "thank God I didn't go to school somewhere else!" for many reasons. And I would not have met the amazing people that I work with and am friends with here if I went to school elsewhere. Times may get tough, but I love learning and I love my school. Philadelphia is a great city and it's nice to be able to experience this place in a new and more mature way.
I've never been a big "school spirit" type of person, but I have no shame in showing my college pride here.
