Doing Things A Little Differently

 I chose to do something a little different today.  As evidenced by my last blog post, I don’t always get the time to eat breakfast before I go to an 8:30 class.  So thus, I was able to grab some breakfast after my class.  No big change is that I had a waffle (with butter and syrup), and my ritualistic milk and orange juice.  However, something I did change was that I made a bagel with cream cheese today.  I know, I know, you’re probably thinking “Woo hoo, this is super exciting”.  I agree, in a broader context of my day, this is not terribly exciting.  The main part that I have decided to change with my blog writing today is the environment in which I write it.  Instead of writing in my room as per usual, I have chosen to write it whilst I have my breakfast.  (This is due to both the novelty of doing so, and the need to multitask in order to get more things done.)

Speaking of work environments, I tried to do some homework at home this week, in which I was only semi-successful.  Apart from the things that people are usually thankful for, I realized how thankful I really was for a quiet work environment.  Being Thanksgiving weekend, my house was full of noise and busyness.  The chance to do some homework came sparingly, especially when the motivation to work hard did not come easily due to the novelty of being back at home for the holidays.  Not that anyone was being noisier than usual; my family was just living their lives.  At the same time, I was also thankful for going home instead of staying here to do homework.  I knew that I needed that time away from campus and southern Manitoba.  I don’t get the chance to leave campus very often, so it was nice to get away and hang out with people from home.

And since I didn’t get a chance to post this on the weekend due to limited internet availability, Happy Belated Thanksgiving everyone!
