Went swimming in the morning, noon, after noon and evening. What a great day to be outside. Hung a mesh tarp over the outside table and attached the misters to it. Backyard is ready for summer. Grilled and enjoyed the day.

Started up my morning swimming. It wakes me up better then coffee and it incredibly refreshing. Quick shower and back to studying. Didn’t study much. Burnt out and need to take a little break. Will get back on track after Monday.

Started to study in the morning. Started getting a really bad head ache so I stopped for a little bit. Started to feel nauseous and dizzy when I started back up again. So I took the day off and went swimming and took a nap.

Nothing new today. Studied and studied more. Watched Plan 9 from Outer Space with my son before bedtime. It’s a ridiculous movie that we have a good laugh.  We have too much fun with this movie.

Studied all day and exhausted. I’m a little behind but will catch up this weekend. Getting up at 4 am and going to bed at 9 pm is getting to me. Planning to sleep in on Saturday and then continue to studying. I have a great opportunity and not going to loose it.

Getting used to waking up at 4 am again. Studied all day again. Feeling more comfortable with the subject matter. I’m at the half way point of my studies. Just 2.5 more weeks to go. After that I will take break for a month and then study at my leisure.

Didn’t do much today. Just relaxed and play Animal Crossing for  a little bit. Planned out the week and organized my notes from my studies. Grilled up some steaks before it started to sprinkle. Going to bed and read before I fall asleep.
