Sometimes I just need a break from assignments and studying and paperwriting, and sometimes I need a break from procrastinating, too. Sometimes I get depressed spending hours alone in my room all weekend, trying to get work done. Especially when everyone was at Mom and Dad's this weekend, and I wasn't. So, to feel better, I thought I'd write an "I like" list. Because I like those. And they make me happy.
I like that It's been snowing all day, and now the ground is white.
I like that I'm eating a bowl of blueberries and raspberries and whipped cream right now.
I like that I picked those blueberries with Shawna and the kids this summer.
I like that I just whipped up the cream myself just now.
(I've been eating a lot of junk lately, and I like to call it "study food")
I like that I'm listening to Christmas music, and it feels more legitimate today because there's snow.
I like Sufjan Steven's and Over the Rhine's Christmas music in particular.
I like that It's almost Christmas time.
I like that there are only three more weeks of craziness until I can go home.
I like that I only have one more paper to write this semester.
I like school.
I like being a student midwife.
I like my new friends and fellow student midwives.
I like that we have study sessions together and we sometimes actually get studying done.
I like my housemates and that they like to bake cookies and brownies and cakes and share them.
I like pretty scarves and boots and other things that come with this weather.

i like your list :)
"I like" lists are a good idea. I would probably benefit from one of those sometimes. Hope it helped you feel better.
I wish I had housemates who would bake yummy things for me!
I shouldn't complain. Quentin does cook sometimes. He makes a delicious turkey dinner for us at holiday times.
We missed you this weekend, too, Jill. Shawna and I both dreamed about you on Friday night. I dreamed that I woke up on Saturday and you were there - you'd decided to come home after all. And I wish you could have been at the show Saturday night. It was so great. Thankfully Christmas is not far away. I imagine that we'll be around the week after Christmas and not the week before, but I don't know for SURE.
Miss you! Love you!
Shawna, you should definitely try making an "I like" list. They're fun.
Thanks Rach. I guess I need to get used to missing family stuff, as it's probably going to happen a lot. I was just thinking that while on placement, I'll be off-call only 4 days a month! And depending on where I'm doing placements, that may mean I'll miss almost everything!
FOUR days? Yoinks! That's insane! You'll just have to do your placement here! Or near Tavistock, I suppose, in which case you can come to stuff and still be on-call. How far away are you allowed to be while on-call?
I don't know how far away we can be. But I'm guessing not too far, in case we get called.
awesome idea!
what a way to stay grateful...
