Half Full Friday is a series of weekly posts that Eyegirl originally started in June 2009. We believe that a lot of our happiness is determined by our attitude about the things that happen to us. So by participating, I'm deciding to see the glass as
half full instead of half empty; I'm choosing to concentrate on the positives instead of dwelling on the negatives. The
Half Full Friday posts are a way to do just that. They're a list of the things in my life that have brought me happiness over the past week. I'm determined to find something good in each day. Are you?
For the next week, I'd like to challenge each of you to keep a list of at least one thing that brought you happiness each day. Be sure to link up here once you've posted your list! (This isn't a blog hop so please only link up if you've participated by posting your happy list. Thanks!)
~I'm happy because...
I've had a whole week off for Spring Break!
I got lots of quality time in with the chi's this week! I didn't realize how much I miss being able to spend so much time with them.
I've gotten around to visiting almost all of you this week! If I haven't stopped by yet, I will!
The weather was beautiful yesterday and today! We won't talk about the rest of the week.
I found out on Friday that I got an A on my government test! I was so excited because the other two tests I've only gotten C's on, even though I studied for them.
I got my haircut yesterday!
My mom's birthday is today! We're celebrating by spending the day at the zoo and possibly the museum!
A good portion of my week has been spent finishing up homework. I might as well have been attending class for as much homework as I've had to do. I had at least 2 lengthy assignments for each class except government. My professor said he'd post the new assignment on the website but I've been checking every day and it still isn't there. So it looks like I'll be spending the weekend working on it.
I met with an advisor last Friday. I didn't realize it when I made the appointment since someone else had given me the phone number but I ended up talking with a woman in the Career Center. Not exactly what I was looking for but it was still helpful. She gave me some paperwork to review which lists various careers that you can do with different majors. The woman also gave me a couple of links she thought I might find helpful. They're for three different tests you can do that'll kind of give you an idea of what kind of career might suit you best. I haven't taken them yet, there's a charge for two of them. She also said she could set up a job shadow if I was interested. I told her I'd love that so she said she'd email me the information. When she sent it, she said the woman agreed to do an informational interview with me and she included a link for questions that might be beneficial for me to ask. WTF?! I thought I was going to be doing a job shadow? There was an issue with the phone number so I had to email the woman. Because of the phone number issue, she thought it would be best if I emailed her my questions so I came up with about 15-20 and brought up the possiblity of doing a job shadow. Waiting back now to find out if that's something that I can do. A job might sound great in theory and/or on paper but actually doing the job can be a totally different experience! And I'd want to know what I was getting into in advance. Most jobs you aren't that lucky enough to do that before you start so I'm going to take advantage of the opportunity now while I can.
