Back from the Dead

Over two months is far too long not to post. The point of this damn blog was to share my journey with you. Let's just say that my journey over these last few months was pretty overwhelming. Either that of full of the most lame excuses you'll ever hear.

Since my last post, I've studied, and gotten my ass kicked about topics like African music, The Middle East, and India. Some of the most amazing music I've ever heard, some of the worst essays I've ever written. Trying to learn this and commit the facts to memory, as I SEEMED to remember how I did this before was a monstrous challenge that shook me to the core. I found myself rattled, lacking of any confidence, and wondering about my capacity to comprehend much any longer.

My son recently was diagnosed with ADHD, and I wonder if I don't have a similar affliction. During my studies, I found myself putting the book down, looking at something else, then coming back to it and struggling to put it together again. Kinda like now. I'm typing this to you, then find myself wanting to do something different for a bit.

That's likely another blog.

Tomorrow's post will be all about my final presentation and report. It happened today, but I just needed to touch base with all of you again. Next week is the last class of the semester. Looks like I made it. Let's meet again next week for the wrap up.
