Rough week

This week has been one of the most stress weeks in my life, and it has really affected my productivity and my confidence.

During Reading week, I had an unexpected illness which put me out of commission for most of the week, and I fell behind in my school work.

On Sunday while I was doing my best to catch up, my keyboard decided that I needed extra w’s, a’s, d’s, and s’s in all my documents that I was trying to work on. I tried almost everything to get my keyboard to work properly, but nothing seemed to work. It has made it difficult to produce good work because every time I think I had caught them all… my keyboard went and added another.

On Monday, I thought my exam was at 11 am, but it turns out that it was in fact schedule for 9 am. At least, the instructor understood and we got to write the exam later in the day.

On Tuesday, I drove my parents to the airport for their trip to Florida. Usually, it is a relaxing day afterward, even if it means I am up at 5 am and have school or work. This time, it was anything but relaxing. My parents’ flight was delayed for over six hours, and I spent most of the day as a liaison officer between my parents on the tarmac in Winnipeg and my grandparents in Florida.

So I am just trying to keep my head up, but remembering the words I first heard when I started at the University of Manitoba back in 2000, “so what is good?” (267)
