Yesterday was the last day of the first five weeks of training. It’s the end of terminology, the first phase of the training program. It was somewhat of a help. The next part is an introduction to Windows (no choice there). Thankfully it’s only a week long. Then comes the actual hardware training.

I’ll be spending all my time in the A+ book, taking notes to learn and retain all I can. I’ll be missing the third class day of the A+ training to move. And filling in any spare time I carve out to write or do website work for money, as it comes up.

This week I will have my packing done so that I don’t have anything to do but study and write, for the first two days of the A+ training. If all goes well, on June 23, I will move first thing in the morning. I will have a quiet celebration with me and my mom, and offer a not-so-quiet prayer of thanks.

Lately, I’m so overwhelmed by looking at everything on my plate, that I get stifled. I’ve taken more than a few deep breaths trying to return to my center. That’s the best place to operate from. To help with this centering, I return to my staples, blogging, journaling, and meditating. And I continue.

keeping my focus on class work

Unpacking and anything else that comes up, will be secondary to completing the training. Dealing with that will be a breeze, since the biggest part will be over. Really, getting ready to move is the biggest hurdle to jump—even if you don’t have much, like me.

Throughout the preparation and moving, working and writing, I’ve got to keep my studies at the forefront. So, I review my notes and take more notes, and research things I have questions about. Writing helps a lot when I’m trying to internalize new information.

Beginning with the next session, on Tuesday, we’ll be in a new location. I have to find it on my own since I didn’t go with the class, yesterday. I’ll Google the address over the weekend and ask any questions I have on Monday. By the time I am moved, I will be able to relax on two fronts: no thoughts of moving for a long while, and no new class locations.

For a minute, that should make all the balls I’m juggling seem pretty easy. I’ll take that.
