This week, in terms of English learning, I didn’t stop to study as I always plan and like; I just did the workbook and wrote a little bit in the blog. Weeks like this used to make me feel so unfounded, because it seemed that I was losing the control of my time, my organization, etc. But something has changed. I will write a little more about this my “transformation” or “change of point of view”, and how it has contributed to my learning process.
Last weekend I had a kind of “insight or inspiration” that made me to think about the courses I do, about my time, my life style, my whishes, and so on. I “woke up” to see that there are a lot of things in life that I value so much but I couldn’t live them. Mainly, thinking about the courses, I didn’t have time to read! I mean, we read all the time (texts from university; I’ve written a journal about it already), but I need to read much, much more and, mainly, things I’ve wanted to read since a long time ago; I look to the books on my desk; they expecting the time I will read them, and vice versa.
So, I decided that I don’t want to live only for universities anymore, because it is what I was doing; they don’t deserve it. I gave up some disciplines at UEPB, I only have two classes there now. I’m going to begin Yoga next week; I will finish some books that I’ve begun on vacation but given up; I will begin others; I will have time to watch films…and, meanly, I’ll have time to dedicate myself for everything I’m doing at the moment, without fill my weekends of studies… In terms of learning, I think I’m beginning to change my bigger trouble. I’m feeling more free and calm to plan/organize my time and studies. I hope things work better now; and, finally, I will be able to contribute much more for our English learning
