Ten Things I Have Learned About Myself Thanks To Summer School

As many of you know, I took a class this summer that I was not at all excited about… Economics.  I learned a few things along the way.

1. I am definitely not an economist.
2. If the economy was counting on me to fix it, we would all be screwed.
3. I will never think of “curves” in the same again.
4. I am definitely not a youngster anymore.  Staying up late to study is counterproductive.
5. Going to school prior to having kids was much, much easier.
6. Taking a class that is a must-pass is a bit stressful.  Next time, if there is one, don’t wait until the last minute to take said class and I will save myself from a lot of panic.
7. Online classes are hard enough.  Taking an online class that I truly don’t care about takes more discipline than even I can muster up.
8. No matter how many notes I take, if I don’t get the content, it isn’t going to make a difference.
9. Help sessions are there for a reason. duh!
10. I am doing what I know is right for my life.

Thanks to the one pre-requisite class I had to take, I now fully know that the path I have chosen and that I am pursuing is the right one for me!  I finished my Economics final last night.  Now, I just sit and wait for my grade… and then move on to bigger and better things!
