A long week

This week was a different week from the usual. I spent the entire week as a student taking a technical course at the U of A. It posed a few challenges since I haven’t had to battle the drive into the city for many a year and really never missed that. More importantly I had to adapt my time to train over the course of the week. Initially the course was a little earlier in the morning, but through the consensus of the class, the group decided to bump it back an hour. Now again I’m not a morning person (still don’t know why I teach so early) but it was a blessing for me. This allowed me to get in an hour of training before class which helped kick start the day for me. The other oddity was meals for the day. I could buy lunch for each day and it would be covered by my work, yet I decided like I always do to bring my own lunch. I was the only one in the course that did this and spent each lunch break eating and then walking around the campus. My instructor thought I was quite odd (he was from the east) bringing my own lunch since I could buy whatever I wish, but again those places never appealed to me. Anyways, after he joked about where my carrot sticks were and I told him in my backpack he stopped the shaking of his head. Choices, we all make them and watching the group around me, a few were making the wrong ones. A few of my classmates were heavily overweight drinking big gulps of pop and just asking to become a diabetic. Yup long week on the brain, but at least it was fuelled by some fruit and veggies to carry me through. Sifu Bryant
