Ups and Downs

You know, it might just be ok to go ups and downs. I should have therapy today, but she is sick. Sort of upset, but not really. I mean, I do not have too much to tell about my week anyway.
This afternoon I got the letter from my home. Normal things, like how proud they are with me, new events happening in the household, warning of over physical exercise, looking for a girl for me, stuff like that. I do not really care what is in the letter. They do not understand anyway. But isn't it neat to get a letter from home. When Victor asked whose letter is it, I felt proud. It is MY MOM!
I think my awareness of self-esteem is working. For example, I had several bad rehearsal recently. I attempted to blame me. But in a rational thinking, why should it be my fault?
And I win Cilker Teaching Award this year! Such a ego booster. I thought I would get it last year since I TAed for so many classes and really felt I did a great job, at least most of the time. But I was not awarded. This year I do not even think about the award except the moment when I nominated Victor, but then I got it. I am excited. Not for the financial aid, but for a benchmark that I have right now to say,"Hey, I am doing pretty good"!
That's it for today. These days the only concern I have is that my dissertation is sorta go slow. Otherwise, life is perfect. Oh, and tomorrow!
