Positivity Journal: 20-09-2024

September 20th, 2024

Hello there, everybody.
How are you? I’ve been meaning to write more and more here, but I feel like… am I being petty? And then, I was talking to some coworkers, and I realized that maybe I should keep going, since I seem to keep… bringing myself down about a few things… so…. here it is, for Future-Me:

Today, at the end of class, a student stayed and told me: “At the beginning of the class, I didn’t understand, but now, I think I understand a bit more.”

Monday, October 30th, 2023

Hey there everybody,
I trust everybody is doing well! Ever since the school year started, I’ve been meaning to get SOME positivy journal entries going, but I somehow never got the time to? And now that I’m very close to the end of the first semester – when I have tons of things to do, here I am, sitting down and trying to write something.

Hey there everybody,
I was so proud of myself for letting Positivity Journal Entry 0 to be published rather than let it rot in my drafts section until I finally gave myself enough courage to do it. It’s a bit difficult right now to find time to write.

Today, even though I didn’t feel like going to work, I did it. I also received a message from one of my hoodlums from regular classes last year that made my day.

Opus Card

August 29th, 2019

Hey there, everybody,
How are you? I’m doing well, except that I just went through so much bureaucracy and mailing in order to get the PDF to get my Student Opus Card, that I decided to make it easier for myself in the future (and also for you students), because sometimes, I’m not very smart, and I don’t follow what the Concordia website wants out of me (to be COMPLETELY fair though, it doesn’t have images!

Welcome to my weird tutorial!
