Longer, more intentional days

Well, I am fully into studying.  It's been so long since I've studied, and this program will take a lot of self-discipline.  Basically, there are four 8-hour days of class, and then you spend the next three months reading and writing a large paper.  I'm not a huge reader, so it it will take determination to stick with this.  So far it's not been too bad, but I'm only on the first week.  I have 51 more to go (the program is 4 modules, each taking 3 months, and then a final discertation that will take 3-6 months).  Basically, my goal is to spend 3 hours each day reading books, journals, etc. related to the topic.  The current topic is Issues in Leadership.  It's really nice to be in a class with a range of people, mostly western (US, UK) people, but there are some others as well.  I do another two days of class this weekend... joy!
