Yoga-ing... Give Yourself A Half Hour

Why is it that I can't seem to ever be able to make a caramel?  I specifically remember this happening to me before.  

What's up caramel... why don't you like me?  I'm just trying to pair you with a little sea-salt and chocolate.  It's going to be delicious... I really think you'll enjoy the combination...

There's nothing more stressful than having to re-do something so simple 3 times just to get it right.  I still didn't even get it perfect on the third time.  Not to mention I was the last person at work, so there was no one to ask for advice.  Better luck next time Katie... 

This weekend, I've got some pretty big things... and I've basically come to the conclusion that the next 3 months will  be non-stop for me.  Travel, studying, practicing, working, sleeping.  The worst part about it all?    Knowing that in 3 months my life will be flipped upside down and I'm not exactly sure yet what the next chapter will be for me.  However, I'm really hoping I will be able to start planning that sometime in the near future.

When you think you already have so much on your plate that you can't possibly fit anything else... Someone whips a fast one your way, and you can't just ignore it.  In order to improve my political skills (politics is a class I take in school in Germany and I'm shockingly not very good at it) I've been told that I now have to watch the German news everyday and then answer a random question from my manager at work the next day.  Did I mention this is an everyday occurrence?

I get it.  

I understand why this is happening and it is supposed to be a technique used in my benefit to help me pass this part of my exam in June.  But... it's stressing my out.  

How long does do you think it takes me to understand the news in German?  I'll tell you... About 4 times longer than it takes to actually listen to the news.  For example, a 15 minute broadcast?  It'll take me an hour before I get what they're actually saying.  

This 10 minute daily occurrence has now turned into an hour that I don't have... 

So, in order to relax my mind of constantly running 18 hours a day, I give myself a half hour of this...

At least I can come home and physically see the progress in my yoga-ing.  I couldn't do this a month ago!  It release all tension I've been holding in all day and gives me a half hour to clear my head.  I strongly suggest taking a class, or just simply giving yourself a half hour.  Without it, I would be a mess.
