Warming Up

The initial shock of becoming a student again is wearing off. I do think of myself as a student of life, and I love learning, but I think I have an instinctual aversion to classroom learning that sort of got in my way at the beginning of the program. I'm starting to get more excited about the whole thing. Yesterday's session was great. Instead of having class from 11-4 it was broken up by an arm balancing workshop with Liza Ferguson from 1-3:30. We worked on different ways of achieving handstands and it was a ton of fun. Also, the room was really warm and I sweated through my shirt, so I got a little workout in which I wasn't expecting. Today we received 4 of our 5 books and our first reading assignment, so I'm going to have to start warming up to the idea of homework again. Actually this won't be too hard. I spend way too much of my free time (and my time at work) doing meaningless shit, so homework will be a refreshing experience.
