two weeks til i start acupuncture school!

i was planning to do a massage intensive for 10 days at harbin--for friendly supportive learning to therapeutically touch people before i have to memorize things frantically for two years. and get some more hands on anatomy knowledge. and if i do quite like it...and continue on with it....maybe i could get to be official and do work on people while still in school. hmm. but...it's quite crammed in. i would go on the tail end of recovering from my uk jetlag (just got back yesterday)....and return the day before new student orientation. and the days themselves go from 8am to 7-something....so a lot of hours in the classroom. and...there is that whole i'm not touchy feely by nature--it could be a very big challenge--good for growth....but exhausting if not given enough space.

would time be better spent doing as little as possible for two weeks? it may be the only opportunity where i could actually manage to meditate twice a day--like goenka says--every day for two weeks or so. and even do tai chi every day if i get really fancy. a nice idea to deepen and open a bit and establish healthful balanced routines before i dive into much schoolwork. maybe even throw in a good ol intestinal cleanse thinger.

but. i am indecisive. please advise, if you fancy it.
