One of the hardest things to do during classes is to let some things go. My office is crowded with mountains of books – but they are organized, I promise. In the last year I’ve purchased over 100 books for the classes alone, not to mention the few that I just can’t seem to keep my paws off of. But it’s now how I want it.
In earlier discussions I have mentioned how frustrating it can be to not be organized but the focus right now is on school. I want to protect my investment in time and money and knowledge by staying on top of things academically. I have yet to do all the things for poetry I’ve wanted to do – and time is fading fast!
Last week there were familial needs and future business needs to attend to. If I hadn’t been on top of things in the past and doing my best to get ahead of the work, then I would have suffered greatly. As it is, I’m where I need to be but will be planning to take advantage of a (hopefully) quiet week coming up.
The take-away: Working harder at the beginning of courses always pays off. I’ve been rewarded with positive responses to the work and I still have a wealth of material to create more work from (especially important for the poetry course), though not as much as I’d like.
