Rolling with “the punches”
Sometimes you manifest something you want but don’t like the road it takes to get there. But, what I think, you have to do is keep in mind the end result. I wanted to stay home more with my child, so its happenning, but it also means that I am giving up an internship to do it. I got to remember I can do this internship at a later date. I also have to think of the pluses.
1. I get to stay home more with my baby.
2. Save a lot of money on childcare.
3. Will have more time next semester to do my practicum then, instead.
4. If I push myself (which I hope to) I can write more, for pay. I’ll have more free time to do it.
5. Next year will be half practicum, half electives, which is a nice combo.
6. I can get straight A’s this semester since I will be able to concentrate on school full-time, and not be distracted by work.
7. I can still volunteer at that place where I was gonna do my practicum.
Yeah, it feels dissapointing but at least I’m trying to focus on the positives. I know I attracted it, so I gotta roll with it and define what I really want.
