This week has been a little slow for me in comparison to the first five weeks and somehow I\u2019m even more exhausted now than I was then. This week has really been testing my ability to multitask because I have to juggle so many things with my work placement and sometimes I have to keep tossing them to keep everything from falling flat on the floor. I\u2019ve been doing a lot more video conferences which I secretly dread because I\u2019m so awkward when it comes to on the spot interactions because I be needing time to process my thoughts so they don\u2019t sound crazy. I’m also working on expressing my opinion when the opportunity presents itself because by the time I work up the courage to say my thought the conversation changes and it just becomes so far gone. I just be inside my own head too much and I overthink way too often, but I\u2019m trying to trust myself and ideas more, so I\u2019m glad I have the opportunity to develop these skills through the program.\u00a0
Sometimes I feel like I\u2019m not doing enough work and it can be hard to snap myself out of that mindset to remind myself that I\u2019m doing my best despite everything going on in the world. I just feel like I\u2019ve been on go nonstop since February and regardless of if I have a break or not. I really want to just go back to \u201cnormal\u201d. Anyway, I\u2019m sharing all of this in case others feel the same way so they can know they\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
