Becoming More Positive
I have not written in a while, and I have a lot to talk say. First off, one of the main reasons that I have not written in a while is because there was not enough staff to take us to the computer lab. Also, over the weekend I spent much of my time thinking. I thought about what was decided on the conference call last week, why I thought it was a good reason that I end up staying, and what I needed to do to become more positive, and how I could get back in to the swing of things.
On Friday night, some of the Ascenders and Belayers went shopping at Dollar Tree and Wal-Mart. I was a little disappointed that we only went there, because we usually go to Fashion Fair in Fresno, but it ended up being better than I expected. I bought five skeins of yarn for Christmas presents. I finished two scarves in 2 days. It was nice to get off campus, just hang out with my friends, and shop for an evening. While I was shopping, I had time to just think of exactly "Why I was at AOS and why I was accepted and have made it as far in the program as I had". As I wandered the aisles of Wal-Mart, I passed one of my friends that was wearing the Academy of the Sierra's T-shirt with the motto on the back.
As she passed I read "Mens Et Salvere." I remembered that I had gone to AOS to improve my body, mind and health. I realized that staying at AOS would actually be the best thing that I could do. I remembered what my mom had told me a few days before I got here, "Some of the hardest times lead to the greatest rewards." Her voice kept replaying in my head. I knew that I could and I would accept the fact that I am not going home in December for good, but I will go home in January, and be able to start the spring semester with my friends at my high school.
All weekend that kept replaying in my head, and it made my weekend enjoyable, I was not in a bad mood, and I did not want to go sit in my room and be by myself. I really focused on my program. Each day I got over 20,000 steps, and I started watching how much fruit and Equal I really did use.
This weekend was one of the best weekends that I have had in a while. I got a lot accomplished, and I did a lot of self-evaluation, to get myself back on track, and back where I wanted to be going in to the holiday season.
Saturday, we went to the Fresno State Football game, and Sunday we went to the movies.
Also I found out that I was going on my OCC from Wednesday morning to Sunday night. I will keep blogging on my OCC.
