It is amazing how fast time passes when school starts, we are facing our first test tomorrow and the second week is finishing up.
We had our first experience with interpreting this week. It was intimidatinge for all of us to say the least. It is like the same fear we had at the beginning of last year in a totally different way, new monsters. But, we are learning tools to help us increase our skill and improve our weaknesses.
I know that I need to improve my receptive skills. There is only one way to do this.
It has been hard for me to get into the routine of school this year and I am struggling with my focus a little bit. There have been a lot of things going on in my personal life and no matter how hard you try not to bring them into the classroom or take them to work with you sometimes it happens.
To struggle with interpreting and knowing that I need to buckle down, yet having problems at home it is difficult to get discipline.
My brother is coming home this weekend I haven't seen him in 3 years, he always inspires me. I am sure he will give me some good advice and will make me want to work harder and suceed, he always does. He is a marine and he is my hero. No matter what life throws at him or who shoots at him he always keeps on going and always loves life, he never gives up. He is fun too he loves to eat, drink and party.
I love the classes they are so interesting and the time flies by. Its about progress not perfection. As long as I am improving and I continue to improve, I am a success.
