After thinking long and hard, I have decided that I will not be changing my IDS. I was so sure, so positive, that I was going to change it. The last round of exchanges changed my mind. I discovered what my issue was with my deck, and I realized that I had, indeed, learned something important from doing this IDS. And I saw how much more this deck has to teach me. Yes, it's a lot of textbook like work and I have had it up to here with studying, but I have just broken down a wall. Why should I leave now when I've finally made my first bit of progress?
I also spent time with the deck I was going to change to. I felt, after almost four full pages of 10-point text, that I was too narrow in my focus. I'm still keeping that deck nearby, but I feel almost like I'm not ready to sit down an analyze it.
So now, I have decided that starting tomorrow I will draw a card from my Shakespearean and just look up and write down the full text of the quote. I won't sit down and pick it apart, I won't think about how this would apply if I drew it in a 'situation' or 'advice' position, I'll just record it. This bit of gentle work will help me ease myself into the next important step I need to do - read the works used in the deck and understand the events that occur in them. This isn't going to be easy (I've read Hamlet several times and I doubt I could give anyone a good synopsis >.>; ) but I feel it's something I need to do eventually.
('cause when you're giving someone a f2f reading, you can't be like, "Hold up! I need to look up this quote on my computer." XP )
