It's the first day of the second week and I think I've started to adjust to the routine of things. We spent the morning with Dr. Bamforth which is really nice because he's so funny and energetic. It's also topics I really enjoy (today it was barley). After a lunch spent reading, we took our first practice test. 30 minutes for an essay question (What are enzymes? How do they work? What affects their actions? Use no brewing references) and 1 hour for a short answer test (bonds, pH, acids/bases, and buffers, proteins and enzymes and carbohydrates). It wasn't fun but I think I did better than I expected to.
What I mostly wanted to mention today is support. Doing this program was like jumping off a cliff. It came with huge sacrifice and change. And at every turn, I've been supported. My kids are adjusting and being understanding about having less of me. My friends and family have been 100% encouraging. And my wonderful husband has taken up the slack and given me permission to do whatever I need to get through this the best that I can. I'm a lucky girl!
That's because we've all been lucky to have your support at one time or another (or make that ALL THE TIME). This is a great big dose of Karma for you.
ReplyDeleteWell then I love Karma!
DeleteI agree with the post above. You have always been encouraging and kind. I'm so grateful I met you and that I was able to make a life-altering change with you in my corner. You deserve all the support you're getting! And if I must, I will come taste beer with you. Yes, I will do that for you. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, truly. I'm so grateful I met YOU. I think we both made life altering changes right at the time we came into each other's lives. It was meant to be. I'm glad you're in my corner. And thanks for sacrificing to help me! :)
