and successfully logged into the online interactive teaching platform (UELPlus), I can finally begin my studies, and the first shock of the day was to discover that I have a deadline in two weeks time already.. aargh :( I rejoined my local library, and sat down for an hour and a half with my study guides for all three of the modules I am taking this semester, General anatomy, Physiology and Histology, Botany and Phytomedicine and Skills for Herbalists and found concentrating for that long a real struggle. It'll be a painful process getting the old grey cells working again.. :(
On the plus side though, I taught my first (and hopefully not last ;) yoga class yesterday evening, which was very exciting. I had one beginner and another four people whose ability ranged between beginner/intermediate and intermediate. It was quite challenging pitching the class in such a way that the beginner didn't get freaked out and the more advanced people didn't get bored.. but hopefully I succeeded! I'll find out when I go back next week and see if they've come back for more :)
In the meantime I'm trying, not so successfully, to get into a routine of getting up early enough in the morning to fit in a session of meditation and some yoga before I start the rest of the day. the problem is that every time I go into London, for choir etc., I end up getting to bed late, so the whole timetable is thrown off. I wish I knew how to survive on less sleep, like the infamous Iron Lady.. Any ideas?

Can I suggest a small child! It is amazing how much sleep you can do without!
Sure.. it's on the to-do list ;) Was hoping for a solution some time sooner though, and.. the small child thing kind of wrecks the meditation/yoga plans, no? Unless of course I end up specialising in Mother/baby yoga, in which case I will be able to balance said infant on one foot while making breakfast AND hanging up the washing
