Few thoughts…
Just jotting down a few thoughts before I forget.
It’s quite interesting the “things” you learn from school. I was talking to ET on Sunday about school, and he said that school has taught him a lot about himself, like how he is very focused on getting good grades instead of the point of learning. How true! I’ve also realized that about myself. I’ve been obsessing about getting that “A”, so much that I always want to “best the rest”. I wanted to write the best paper, give the best post, get the most points from each homework, etc… I just want to do the best that I can to get that “A”. Like ET says, Biola grades very easily. I was never used to getting an “A” so easily, especially not in engineering classes. Usually half the class would fail all exams and the professor would have to grade on a curve. I remember studying until 12 midnight each day, and waking up at 6:30am to go to class at 8am. But not so now. Although grading is a lot easier, I have a lot more to read and write that I didn’t used to do. Anyways, back on topic. I’ve realized that I focus so much on getting “A”s in class that I forget why I’m even in school. It seems like the satisfaction I get from going to school is accomplishing another task and patting myself on the back to say “well done”, instead of learning about education and focusing on teaching kids in the future. Oiy. Really need to refocus.
Other interesting thing I learned about school. Why do most college students have Macs?! All the laptops I’ve seen in my class so far had been Macs. My goodness, was there a big sale at the school? Or is this the trendy thing to buy now? I must say, that’s not cheap stuff! I felt out of place bringing in a HP! Ha!
Alright, back to work.
