I'm feeling very happy but stressed. It's a weird place to be
There is a million things I should be doing, but instead, I'm reading A Dark History: Celts by Martin J. Dougherty . and also, browsing The Mineral Kingdom by Paul E. Desautels . I doubt that I'll finish either of these books.
I did finish the book, Our Magnificent Bastard Tongue: The Untold History of English by John McWhorter . I should be celebrating my accomplishment, but there are still huge parts of the book, that I did not understand. Language is not an easy subject for me, and sometimes when I hear about grammatical rules, I just keel over from frustration.
How can I take the stress away? I'm just going to start listing out what I'm doing. ....
1) I'm going to school from Monday - Thursday for a Professional Carpentry Class from 8;30-3;13pm
2) I'm part of a Language Study at the University of Washington. I'm learning French, and I'm doing this Monday and Wednesday (and also sometimes Friday) from 6;00-6:30pm.
3) I'm doing Dirt Corps on Tuesdays froms 6:00-8:30pm and Saturdays from 9-3;30pm
4) I'm taking a scrambling class that meets sporadic thursdays and some weekends
5) I bike most days. I bike between 12 - 16.8 miles. It takes about 3 hours total because of elevation gain.
I'm doing these things aw well, but I am fucking up at it.
