Ok, so things haven't gone so great yet. Had my first week at university and oh my goodness, my brain will not retain anything. It's been a very long time since I've been in school and had to do so much reading and book learning. I'm very A.D.D when it comes to reading dry material from a book and trying to concentrate has not been easy. Legislation. Is. Boring. and unless you are a lawyer, can be quite difficult to understand sometimes.
I have extremely little logged so far. I haven't been balancing everything properly. I need to do better in making kung fu a priority. I'm super stressed out about passing my course because it's not cheap, and financing for the rest of my courses rests on me passing. Being audited at work by 2 separate auditors and doing a full time job in 3 days a week doesn't help, but I shouldn't put my training on the back burner either. I need to balance my life better. I finally have my insurance cheque from my car accident and have an inexpensive, old Buick going in for an inspection tomorrow so hopeful that will work out and I will not have any reason to not be in Monday morning class as I will be able to get there. Being in the kwoon regularly at least once a week should help with engagement. I think I may have bit off more than I can chew. Yikes!
One of the great things about going back to school at this point in life is the desire to succeed. My brain doesn't want to retain information either and it can be overwhelming to try and remember everything. I am slowly learning different strategies to help, so if you need any help or advice I'm usually at class Monday mornings.
