This week... Feels like an eternity has passed. My log book doesn't say very much but it feels like I've been incredibly active. Like I've gone beyond what I thought I could do. Maybe it's just the coffee I've been taking... That certainly helps.

An opportunity has struck. Next tuesday I will get an oral exam. It's something I was offered and took. If passed -- and I'm sure I will -- I will not have to follow the course for the rest of the year nor will I have to take the exam at the end of the semester. It's barely saturday at the time I've been typing this in my time zone. Can I finish everything on sunday? Page 56 is where I left off. Pages 62 through 69 are to be skipped and page 72 is the final page. I can do this. I can finish this on sunday and dedicate monday to refreshing. This is an example I must set for myself... It may feel like a lot is being done... but this is in fact easy. The teachers seem to think so -- the two who were there when this agreement was made. Eight pages, three days... No, two days and one day for refreshing. Even with the math and at times convoluted language, it shouldn't be a problem. It won't be.

But rest must not be neglected. I could pay dearly for that.
