I have been biting off chunks of that gap in my hours that I have one day short of two weeks to fill. Working with gathering all of these international sports contacts has been very helpful in the process although I have to admit, it can get rather monotonous. My regimen is fairly close to a physical workout except that my breaks tend to be a little longer. I work for thirty minutes then do something else for fifteen, back to work for thirty minutes and when that’s finished, I break for another fifteen. Ultimately, three hours turns into 4.5 doing it this way, more than half of a workday, but it prevents me from hitting the proverbial wall and making silly mistakes because I am tired out.
I am getting to the point in this mentorship where I will have to start reflecting on really 3.5 years of Master’s studies, but specifically the six months I spent doing this mentorship. I also have to think about what comes after all of this and discuss it with Liston. The upcoming holiday seems like the perfect opportunity to do so. The spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday plus a couple of additional days off from my normal job I think will allow me to take stock of everything and trust me, there is a lot to take in this year. Thus I plan to consider my thoughts and start sharing them with you one week from tomorrow–Thanksgiving Day. Meanwhile, I shall continue to head toward that finish line.
