Green Room - Week 25 - Day 5

[clauderainsrm.livejournal.com]

And at the end of the day, I wish I could hear you say, we’re at the starting gate, and the voting is on again!! http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/562742.html

Which is definitely the most important thing that I have to share today. Because what could be more important than a vote? ;)

I was fortunate enough to have Survivor’s own Shane Powers (from Exile Island) select one of my questions to answer on the most recent Rob Has a Podcast. I’m mentioning this for a couple of reasons – first of all, to gloat. Because it’s awesome! At least I think so!!

Secondly though, I asked him what his proudest moment as a father was… and his answer was really awesome.

Which got me thinking about you guys – and a question that doesn’t get asked nearly enough – What is YOUR proudest moment (so far) as a person???

Like tigrkittn said above, being one with high expectations, I haven't really done anything that's worked out that I'm insanely proud about. Some might think being the first person in my family to graduate high school, much less get a masters degree, would be something to be proud of. And I feel like I should... Except where did it get me? I made a serious mistake with all that except that it brought me to California. That is something I'm very happy about since I love it here and love being close to Java :)

What would make me proud of myself? Getting into a career that I love and that can still sustain me financially. Then I'll be proud of everything else I've done to her there.

I think you can and should be proud of *everything* you've accomplished to this point, honey. You always tell me that I need to be proud of getting my degree even when I tell you that it's not doing me any good whatsoever. You perservered and overcame a lot of adversity to get where you are. Maybe it's not where you want to be but you will get there. Be proud of everything you've accomplished on the journey so far... there is much better yet to come.

Thank you sweetheart.

I'm just in a self loathing mindset still. And also, like I've told you, my education was easy. I never felt like I overcame anything or struggled. Once I stopped partying, I got 4.0's without reading the book and crash studying the night before. That's in both undergrad and grad school. The programs were too easy, I could sail through them like nothing. Besides winning the practicum in graduate school, most of that didn't give me much to be proud of.

But when I'm not feeling so down on myself, I can think of more things. I'm just struggling with all the head gunk like I talked to you about last weekend. *hugs*

High expectations are a pain, aren't they? I have them, too, but I do think you should be proud of what you've accomplished, even if that's hard to do.

*hugs*

Thank you *hugs*

I'm going through a major self loathing kick at the moment, so it's a bit harder to see things about myself that I should be proud of. I would consider school a success, but it was too easy. Even graduate school was a breeze. I never felt like I had to try very hard. And look where it's gotten me anyway? Buried in student loan debt and trapped in a field I hate :/

I'm more proud of my standings in Idol than I am all that :P
