Where will I stand at the end of my first schoolyear? Hex 22.4 -> 30

[dancingfox]

In June this year I will be finishing my first year of my bachelors degree. It's been a challenge to combine my household and social life with going back to school combined with an internship. The combination of school en the internship has been especially hard on me. It seems like my biggest problem is time management. I get good grades and I absolutely love going back to school. The only bummer is that all of my energy goes to school, assignment, exams and the internship. My social life virtually seized to exist since September '14.

So I asked
"Where will I stand at the end of my first schoolyear?"

Hex 22.4 -> 30
Grace changing to clarity.
Maybe it speaks of a return to simplicity? I have been drowning in my workload for school lately. I would love some simplicity ^^

Other insights?

I think it tells you to go on with your school routine however difficult it may be at this time.

He so adorns himself as to seem white as snow. He is, as it were, a white steed. What
delays his progress is not an obstacle but a matter of betrothal.

The fourth place is in doubt; this accords with its place. "He is not a robber, he will woo at the right time.” In the end, one remains free of blame.

Certain success is indicated.

22.4 often shows that that which one thinks is kind of unbelievable or not worth what it promises actually is worth what it promises.

For me it's the kind of scenario where someone tells you they can do something for you and you're thinking 'oh yeah', 'really ?' and you might think they are flashy...like robbers or crooks making out they can do this or that...but actually they can.

translating this to your question I think it may be hard for you to believe that this situation is what it says it is somehow.....but it is. You may have doubts that it was somehow 'too good to be true' or made false promises about how it may change your life.....but it isn't/hasn't. So I think the answer is allaying your doubts about this.

I think your course will be a transforming influence in your life. It isn't a 'robber' as the line says even if it looks like it stole your social life. It actually comes to transform.

I read this translation from Wilhelm

Grace or simplicity?
A white horse comes as if on wings.
He is not a robber,
He will woo at the right time.

To me the simplicity would be something I could acquire in my assignments for school. I think maybe I take to much time in finishing my assignments. I study orthopedagogy (social work) so we write a LOT of observations, reflections and rapports. I am a deep thinker and this translates in long, detailed writings. I am barely coping with my workload right now, so simplifying my writing method would be a big help.

Yes, I feel robbed of my social life, I just need to hang on in there. In a few months I will have finished 1/3 of my degree.

Hi Trojina

I think your course will be a transforming influence in your life. It isn't a 'robber' as the line says even if it looks like it stole your social life. It actually comes to transform.

So true. At the time I felt robbed of my social life but looking back I am so glad and proud of myself for hanging in there. This course certainly changed my life. It was one of the best decisions I ever made and it really did transform my life drastically in a most positive way.

And yes I learned how to simplify my writing method and it helped me a great deal. I needed to learn how to prioritize my tasks, something I still apply daily in my professional life. My private life is still another matter though
