After the weekend it felt weird waking up early and getting ready for campus but as naturally as a hand fits onto a glove, I was up at my usual time (which is early) and off to campus. I must say I enjoy learning. I was so looking forward to Monday. What I did (which is a very rare thing for me) was to relax and do absolutely nothing over the weekend other than watching television. The ocassional interruption was to go to the rest room or to cook and eat. It was nice just to relax and take a break from all the study. No wonder I was motivated to shake off the Monday blues and get a groove on!
The lectures went well as usual and the mountain of work did not hesitate to dissappoint. It kept growing by the minute. After my lectures, I went home and did not read anything like I usually do. I kept well out of my books for fear of getting overwhelmed. My decision was to think about what had been taught rather than always adding knowledge. Taking time to think, I found, helped me make sense of what we were learning by relating it to why I was learning. It is a simply complex way of absorbing knowledge, more like meditating on it. It's fabulous!
On Tuesday which is today, I was up early and studied before my lectures began. When the tutor was teaching I was so alert and especially happy because it was like confirming what I had been reading. It's no wonder the lecturers keep emphasizing the importance of reading before the lecture even if you do not understand at first. Attending the lecture only reinforced what I had been trying to learn earlier.
Wow! I Love learning. Way to go!
Cheers.
