a sorta new beginning - reflections
Today was my first day.It was mostly introductory material but I was unbelievably exhausted at the end of it even though we got to leave early.There are so many things I could complain about but I choose to keep optimistic because:1. This was my choice2. I am giving up many things for this choice3. I have 7 more months to go!!!4. I was reading Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life again, and Day 30 says that "When you don't have a heart for what you're doing, you are easily discouraged". I need to learn how to cultivate a heart for what I'm doing always, so that I can give my best in what I do. It's all part & parcel of growing up.Now I understand why my mom looks forward to the weekends. I have tremendous respect for my parents and anyone else who has worked most of their lives.I also have tremendous respect for women who wear uncomfortable shoes that kill your feet and still look as if they don't feel a thing.On the upside, I made new friends!! And the mentors and staff are all so supportive and nice. What I learnt today:1. Eat breakfast!!!2. ASK when you don't know - that's what your mouth is for3. Tape your feet up before you go to work for extra protection from blisters when you can't find comfortable shoesLooking forward to drafting a will for an imaginary client tomorrow.Gotta go sleep early because I have to wake up early again. Nitenite!!
