Fundamentals 1 question

Charlie in the Fundamentals 1 DVD you mention that Jane had only just commenced doing block starts a week or so earlier.
Why was that?
What was she doing prior?
Dare I ask how old she is? I am guessing that is relevant to the delay.

The problem there is training at university that I have no control over. If it were up to me, start work would be in the program throughout, or at least after some GPP hill work was completed.
