After I enrolled in a college class, I had a fleeting thought that said, “do you know what you are doing?” Strange thought since I had taken the time to choose a class, and I picked the instructor I liked. All looked good to me. About 2 weeks into the class, then I REALLY wondered what I had gotten myself into. Did I really need all this stress of deadlines and studying? My brain went into a fog every time I needed to study…I was beginning to think I was on the very cusp of
Alzheimer’s!
Eventually, through my determined efforts everything began to connect and make sense. Oh, that doesn’t mean it got easy, oh no, it was all a challenge. I must admit that I am not an comfortable academian. I must groan and moan, run away, fret, whine, within myself. I sometimes resent the time I have to give to studying. Nevertheless, there at times I truly enjoy the challenge of accomplishment. I do enjoy reading, even academic reading, however it can get a bit verbose and draws too fine a point which is to be expected. We were offered a number of subjects to write about and of course, I had to choose a topic that requires quite a bit of research. I know I bit off more than I really want to do, but in I am in it now! It has been a challenge and has caused me to use my marvelous brain! ha! I am holding at a B+ and I would be very happy with that…heck, I would be happy with a C. As of now, I am so happy we are doing our last paper. I am tired and weary of the class, and from what I see, so are the other students and the instructor! Everyone needs a break, and that is just around the corner. Oh, yes!!!
