Wrapping up the semester

I just have to say... I am so freaking proud of myself at the moment.

This semester, more than any other in grad school or as an undergrad, I stayed organized and on top of my work from the beginning in order to avoid that last-minute, procrastination-induced manic 96-hour writing binge the last week of the semester.

So even though I had an unexpected "pain event" that pretty much took me out of the game the secnd half of November, leaving me a little more tight on time than I would've preferred, I was able to switch back into school mode and still get things done on time.

I wrapped up one of the semester's largest projects yesterday (360-degree feedback), and I'm completely on target to finish everything else (even my incompletes from last fall) in a timely manner and without too much stress.

I know this might not seem like a big deal to some of you. But in the past, I've allowed my self-doubt to manifest as crippling procrastination. I haven't done that this time around. I've maintained confidence in my voice, in what I have to contribute to my learning community. And now I'm seeing the payoff.

It feels really good. /smile
