Big and busy weekend.
Saturday morning I had my first tutorial. Was a brief look at the course and generic info on the OU. Thought is was pretty good.
Some of the lads came round for armour repairs in the afternoon, which was really nice. Had a meal with the wife at the local - All in all a great day.
Sunday - Battle Heritage eliminations. This was brutal. Full contact medieval fighting against the IMCF world champions going head to head with the UKs only semi-pro fighter. I got stuck right in, last man standing a few times on my team surrounded by the opposition. My body has paid a price for it though. Lots of pain and pretty colours (purple, blue and black) all over.
Why I mention Sunday - It has impacted my ability to study today. Pain is another distraction in life. Making sure my team is ok after an event like this takes time too.
Something I will have to think about in the future.
Luckily I'm still ahead by a lot. I can afford a couple of easy days ....... truth is though I don't want easy days. I just need to manage my time a little differently leading up to big events.
Student Finance was confirmed today, so I'm an official student!!!
I'm hurting
