YOU MADE IT!!
You made it through to the end.
Please congratulate yourself. Regardless of your grades or the state of your academic career, you made it through the term!
Pause now in this hiatus of short days and holidays. Take time for a few hours to pause and to reflect on what went well. Reflect on what you did that made those things go well.
And take that reward. If you have to change it because of time or circumstance, change it so that it is still a reward for getting through this term. But take that reward.
Next week, I’ll be talking about getting ready for the winter term. Now, from me to you as you’re reading this: The best of this holiday and the best in 2025!
See you next week! [email protected] .
