my french course has come to the point that my previous schooling left off at...so now i really have to study, not just jog my memory. i'm feeling a little stressed out, overwhelmed i think. at the four week point, it begins to set in that this is not a holiday. and i've been too willing to do anything anyone asked of me...odd jobs, cleaning, etc.
i'm going to drop some of my little odd jobs, clear my schedule so i can concentrate on my french lessons. i only have two more weeks left, i need to get the most out of them. and forgoing the little bit of pocket money the cleaning jobs brought in won't really change my life.
i'm hoping to focus more time on my writing, drawing and painting as well. that's what i'm really here for. i can look for work later if i decide to stay, and that's a long way off. i have this one year free to focus on what i want to do, what i want to learn....as Mom and Maria say, i have to learn to say 'No!" or "Non!"
