I hate titles

Lots to think about this past week- I've never been very good at getting my thoughts down into words though. 

I've been trying to focus on getting to know my curriculum techniques better by working on one for a few weeks. It's funny how you think you know a technique and then you realize all this other stuff you've been missing, all the nuances, kind of like the difference between "twinkle twinkle" and a symphony. Definitely not at the symphony yet, but I'm excited about the progress. 

I'm a month away from the final exams of my last semester of school! Even though it's so close it feels never ending a bit, it's hard to imagine being done. I'm trying to have the mentality that all I have to do is put in the effort and the results will be there. 

Because I'm in school, I work a lot of Saturdays- I've never worked weekends before and I am missing the Saturday training. I'm hoping to work less weekends and get more weekend training in. 

I also have to remember to copy my blog posts to the I Ho Chuan group site- I forgot last week.

I'm hoping that the Friday classes will only go uphill for me as last Friday- very first class, the very first time I swing my cane around- I hit Sifu Brinker with it. The worst has happened, it can only get better right? Happy training everyone.

Goals

So my I Ho Chuan year has begun! I am glad to be back on the team, I felt a little lost last year not having set goals to work towards. As we all know those casual goals that we say we're going to do but then don't because we're not accountable to anyone but ourselves don't really happen, well, at least not for me anyway.  I am nervous that I'm going to like a chicken with my head cut off, but we'll see how it goes. I'm a little behind on being organized for the year. Adrien found a good website for tracking my goals that also has an app for my phone so I can easily log stuff when I'm out. It's www.42goals.com and it gives me a total count and how many I need to do every day to achieve my goal. I know that staying organized is going to be a big part of making this year successful.
