Survived the first week

Wanted to write this over the weekend, but had a lot of studying. This teaching program is, indeed, intense. My early assessment of last week was that I’d need to drop out of the program altogether. I was going to meet with the instructors last Friday to discuss that option, but had a chiropractor appointment. So I had to wait until yesterday.

But that was kind of lucky because, a) that chiropractic appointment went very well (probably the best chiro I’ve had yet) and b) postponing the meeting til Monday gave me the weekend to take a step back and consider my options. And, well, I really like it here in Lacey. Plus, I’ve put in a lot of time and money to get this far. And I was thinking how I really like the group of trainees in the program. I don’t want to leave.

So by the time Monday came around, I’d pretty much already decided that I’m staying. And come to find out everyone else is hurting in this course, too. So it’s not just me. Might as well stick it out.

The weekend gave me time, also, to rethink how I’m going to study, and thought back to my college days and the techniques and strategies I used to get through that.

So, yeah. I’ll try to write again when I can, but I doubt I can do much more than one post a week, if that. Until next time.
