Center Stage Youth Theatre

Posts Tagged ‘Step At A Time’

And so it begins!  I had exactly two classes Thursday and came home completely exhausted, overwhelmed and scared.  Such a big place!  Everybody is even younger than they used to be when I was in college and they were really young then!  And the technology the professors talk about – crazy! And one of my classes is an online class…what is that about?!  No face to face?

And so those were my worries when I got home Thursday.  And what I really needed to do was to simply start on the work, which I did, and to remember to take things one step at a time, which I am trying to do, and to remember it is as if the grad program is a full time, 9-5ish job and to to treat it as such.  Let it go at the end of the day.

The other grad students (lol – younger, more energetic grad students ) tell me to remember it is all about time management.  Unfortunately I have no time management skills, so when they said this it was far from comforting.  But I know, I know, it is time for me to learn this too.  And in my Developmental Psych text book – this is the online class which I am finding quite fascinating now that I have bravely begun to work on it – it says that even as older people we can develop new skills and new pathways in the brain and even new synapses!  New Synapses!

I’m going for it!  I’m gonna need a lotta new synapses…
