One day down...

So I survived the first day of Houston Institute! I was expecting to be immersed in the classes as an observer from day 1 but was surprised to find out that for the first 3 days we are in learning sessions from 7:00 - 4:00. So today was rather long and tedious and I was working on 3 hours of sleep and only 7 hours in the past two nights. So needless to say I was struggling at times to stay focused. But there was a lot of interaction going on where I needed to give input so that kept me somewhat alert. I plan on getting at least 5 hours of sleep tonight and taking some coffee in with me tomorrow morning. Just to give you an idea, breakfast starts at 5:30 and my bus leaves for the high school at 6:35. Today I got lucky because the only reflection we used from the pre-institute work was exercise 8 which just so happened to be the only exercise I completed for today. Praise God! And no I did not know that would be the only one we would need. I now have to do some stuff for tomorrow. Homework....when was the last time I did this. :-/

Peace,
