Ah, what did I learn this week?
1) The value of consistency
Probably the most overlooked and most difficult skill to attain. Doing something the same every time is incredibly difficult to do, but once you get it, it becomes reliable enough that you can concentrate on other things. If you can’t get it, then trying to concentrate on other things is usually an exercise in futility. And people told me juggling was useless. Feh, I tell you, FEH!
2) Earn the right to be taken seriously
I like teachers who differentiate between teaching the bare minimum for people who want to do just the requisite and conserving their energy for people who want to be taken seriously. There’s no use trying to force-feed skill to someone who doesn’t want the pay the price. I think this is a good attitude to start taking with other people.
3) Cheese is a great snack
Maybe a sign of my conversion to No-Cal-ness. But buying a couple bricks of cheese and some bread ensures you’ll always have a good salty snack. Just slice the cheese into small or thin chunks and eat. It soothes your craving for salt at any time. Um, on the other side, I’m doing quite poorly with sweet snacks because I’m eating handfuls of a large sack of marshmallows.
Goals for the week:
1) I can juggle 25 times. Success!
2) Didn’t run 15 miles or time myself. Failure!
3) Averaged better than 70% on quizzes for the week. Success!
4) I took a rest day. Push!
5) No cold showers. Failure!
Verdict: Push!
