Social Anxiety Support

shygirl14 · 07-21-2009, 03:59 PM

so how are we all doing so far, I hope good.

Good news - I have a 2nd interview tomorrow.
Sucky news - I seem to be sucking wind in my history class, their is no extra credit, and the school doesn't offer mentors for studies (maybe its me, think its a great thing to have with the studies), so this is on my goal list to find a mentor.

TaniaN · 07-24-2009, 05:34 PM

I soooo didn't accomplish those goals that week lol

But I finally worked out today and I'm really proud of myself

My goals for this coming week are:

Finally go to that museum!
Continue working out
Reread Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Write a few good cover letters and apply to jobs
And....pursue a new hobby
