Ok, full disclosure- I should be writing my goal of 3 more pages of my comps at this moment instead of writing about this picture.
However, I'm in my first week of comps and I realized today that I have been looking at this picture a lot this week, especially when I get frustrated or tired.
(I also look at this one,
but that's for other reasons. P.S., I found that on APW's blog, I did not take the picture myself-though I need that mug).
This morning I realized what I was doing. I love this picture because it reminds me every time that these people have got my back and that I can do this-- no matter what "this" is. Right now, "this" is my 6 week comprehensive exam hell. Sometimes, "this" is when I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing with my life, sometimes it's when I just have a bad day or do something wrong, and sometimes it's good things. For instance, my sister's wedding , or vacation, or celebrating a new addition, or that I'm freaking going to get out of school for the last time within a year/year and a half, dammit!
That's the stuff that life is all about and I couldn't be more lucky. So thanks visual representation of my cheerleading squad/peanut gallery. Love you guys.
Proud to be one of your peeps! Love you cousin, now get back to work. :)
