Oh, how life has a way of keeping things interesting. Well, in this case it's me shaking things up just a little bit more.
Yesterday I registered for my next grad class after taking the summer and fall semester off to deal with life. Now, I'm ready to get my head back into the academic game - for myself, that is!
My class starts this Saturday. Yep! Saturday morning class. Actually, this is a good thing. I do much better in class when I'm refreshed and focused than after a long day teaching.
Of course, this Saturday was the day I was going to attend an open Crossfit class that is welcoming newcomers. And, while my classes are biweekly, class will push two scheduled - and paid for - races off the calendar. It may also force me to reschedule when I'll be doing my first half-marathon...fortunately, there are a number of those around the same time, so I can probably find one within a few weeks of when I was planning.
So, off I head to Amazon to order the books I need for class. I think I'll need to get to the office store before Saturday...new school supplies are in order!
As I add another challenge to my plate, I'm committing to doing a small thing that will help keep me focused on the other challenges I'm already juggling...I will walk to class. Okay, I live about a half mile from the college, but I think it's something that will keep me focused on balancing my priorities.
I just hope there's not a blizzard on Saturday!
Here's to flying over the hurdles along our path!
