Yesterday was a good day. I love it when I'm motivated. I have more confidence and I feel good. I walked the dog, food shopped, vacuumed, clothes/bed washed, cleaned the oven even! Went to footy, started uni readings again, made dinner, put new sheets and dooms cover on the bed. Busy busy.

Aside from all that boring shite I really like it when a stranger smiles at me. Just a nice friendly smile. I was walking out of Jolimont to the G and one of Meteo guys was waving his arms to show people where they needed to go. I looked at him an he saw me and smiled. I smiled back. Simple gestures like that, kindness really, warms my heart. perhaps it's an acknowlegement of my existence that I appreciate so much.

I booked a weeks holiday at Apollo bay in late Jan 12 today. 7 nights with the hound plus my ma and her partner and their dog. I know it's ages away (the dates we wanted were already gone) but I'm looking forward to it. plus hound dog will have a friend to play with for a whole week!

I can see what I can achieve if I put my mind to it and set goals. I just need to stick to it.

On my degree- one girl I met at my workshop is becoming my motivator. She's really great. I thought I was so behind and we're at the same stage so I don't feel like I'm doing everything backward. It gives me confidence to know she's at the same stage as me - I say this because she's real smart. I took notice of her skills the second day and thought she had yhe issues we were discussing down pat- or perhaps they were the same as what I was thinking so I liked her analytical skills. It gives me strength to continue anyway. If she can do it with two kids and working full time as well as finding time for her then surely I can do it too.
