Thoughts on speech patterns

[onefixedstar]

Now that I've really started paying attention, I'm noticing that most of what I say about my daily experiences in graduate school is negative. I don't think that's a good thing, so I'm going to do two things. First, I'm going to try to spin events more positively. Second, I'm going to start paying attention to whether I'm really unhappy here, and figure out what that may mean.

(It may partly be due to the marking; I don't think many people care for that. I want to see if negative feelings remain even after I try to spin things more positively, and after I start reading for my comp, since in the past reading theory has tended to be very satisfying for me.)

Good idea to look on the bright side. If you act more positively you will feel more positive!

However, if you have a "school sucks!" bandwagon, I'm on it!

Marking is fine for the first 15 essays, tests, assignments... It's the rest of the class that is annoying!!
