We’re pretty proud of ourselves this week here at Persephone. Our writers and our site are getting some well-deserved recognition and we are just pleased as punch about it.
On a personal level, I’m kind of proud of myself for challenging myself this week and doing things like going to the gym even though what I really wanted to do was wallow in my depression. Exercise works, you guys!
So I want to know what you’re proud of this week? It can be big or small, but let me know what you are patting yourself on the back for.

I got a B on a class project that I had fully expected to get a D on! The instructor wrote, exactly, “You failed to reach many key points but you write very well!” So, yah? If I can’t reach the right conclusion at least I wowed you with my sentence structure? I’m counting it as a win. I was sick and wrote it all from a hotel room during a business trip.
I gave up many dinners with crab and lobster for that paper!
And all the dryrot is officially out of my bathroom. :D I have no floor, no walls, no nothing but I also have no mold and no rot. Win.
I have yet to do anything pat-on-the-back worthy this week, but I am CRAZY PROUD of PMag! It’s wonderful that there’s been some fabulous (and deserved) recognition going around. High five, my peeps!
*prances with the virtual unicorns*
What a crazy ride it’s been!
I’m proud of myself for getting through my midterms without killing anything! And, I cleaned my kitchen this morning.
It didn’t happen this week, but I’m really proud of a fellowship I got. It extends my schooling one year, but it pays off more than a quarter of my debt and makes me a better applicant for residency programs.
That’s awesome! That is something to be proud of. Good on you! :)
That is SUPER exciting. Congrats!
Ooo, this is a good week for this. This week (just since Sunday, mind you) I have done the following things that I am proud of at varying levels:
-Submitted a proposal for a new job (on a contract basis) in my field.
-Written and submitted two sucky assignments for class in one day (well, one of them I started the night before, but close enough…)
-Run almost 8.5 miles (my last run before that was six miles, and I upped it almost 2.5 miles by SHEER FORCE OF WILL – out of everything, I am most proud of this, to be honest.)
8.5 miles!
You are putting me so much to shame right now. I’m not even going to tell you what I’m running. I think if I tried to increase it 2.5 miles in one week, I’d die. :)
Haha, I was lazy about running all summer (too hot!) but I’ve been stepping it up massively in preparation for a 15K next Saturday. I’m totally dialing it back for the winter though, because I hate running outside when it’s cold, and treadmills are hella boring after the first three miles or so.
My proud of thing is also gym related. I’ve been actually keeping up with the Couch to 5K Program, when in previous times, I haven’t done so well. Don’t want to jinx myself, but it feels pretty good!
Um this is awesome.
1. I finally cleaned my house this weekend. It was horrible but now it’s done.
2. Even though I am not the “breadwinner” of the two of us, I manage my money better, and I successfully retained enough paycheck to float us when my dude bounced his bank account. (I’m over being mad about it, and am now just laughing at him, because, lol, the woman is better with the finances. Eat that, misogynist stereotypes!)
3. I am proud of all the Persephone stuff!
4. And I am proud of the work I’m doing at work, because it’s the first job I haven’t hated in a LONG time.
Lolol.
Mr. Miller and I have a similar situation. He’s a wizard and better with numbers in general, but I’m better with managing the money and paying down the bills (on time and fast).
Honestly, where DO people find these stereotypes.
