Loving the Wheel of Pain

Aug 19, 2009 13:55

When I finished my readmission contract, I was finally switched to Good standing for Fall semester. I must say I got a little giddy when I realized I could take more than four classes, so I started piling on extra classes on top of the four I'm already taking. U.S. History since 1877? Intro to Psychology? Yes, please ( Read more... )

CRUSHING IN PROGRESS.

(that's a lot of classes. But you can do it!)

I dropped Intro to Psychology at least twice. The tone the instructor took was pretty insulting to the students; hopefully your experience with it will be better!

My instructor seems pretty unforgiving, but she seems to know her business, so I'm down with it.

In the end, taking extra classes solely to further my knowledge in different subjects (because I don't need the History or Psychology courses to graduate) follows my policy since I've come back to school, which is to aim to do more than the minimum I have to do. When I've done this it has resulted in excellent grades. When I aim for the minimum I usually fall short.

It will be a lot of work, work I will happily do, even if it costs me a few idle hours.

Rob, your attitude is so awesome. I admire it, and you.

I'm really pleased about everything I hear regarding your schooling -- you have too much brain to be in the job you're in. I worked a no-brain job for a while too, and I think what initially seems like pleasing mindlessness soon turns into depression and bitterness.

So continue to be kick=ass, sir!

Yeah, I second all of that. And while I mourn the probable decline in quality movie reviews being provided to me, I cannot for one moment question the decision.
