My stubborn streak
I am too stubborn for my own good. Today I’m working hard on language exercises and I feel like I’m climbing straight uphill. New material without the learning materials that should go with it. I have been trying to complete today’s exercises since dawn and right now it is dark again. To be fair I have not put this on continuous mode. I go until my back or eyes hurt too much to continue and then I take a break. But, so much for those earlier days would all seem too easy. I think this is what they call hitting a wall. On a better note, no pun intended, my guitar has come home period. A kind Samaritan took it upon himself to change my broken string period. Normally, I would have done this myself, but the guitar has different fittings than I’m not used to and I do not see them clearly enough to forge ahead. And so I reached out for assistance. Yes, I am too old to be so stubborn but I have had decades of practice. Think of me as being more like a donkey then a racehorse. And so once this exercise is completed, I will return to my language lessons and hope that I do not run out the clock. I still have time I think. I have never gone beyond a full day on any given set of exercises so I do not know what will happen. That is part of the learning experience. And when I go to bed tonight I will probably sleep.
